  • Interests
    Born and raised in the East Riding, save for degree studies in the big smoke. Unfortunately almost at the opposite end of the Tees-Exe line for the GWR!

    Currently building up (hoarding) my fleet, and taking my first steps in scratch & kit building, via modifying RTR! The dream? A secondary GWR mainline in the winter/spring of 1946/7, with plenty of operating interest, and justification to run all classes of Swindon's finest!

      I met David Boyle a couple of times when they were based in Winsford.

      I asked him the question where the name derived from, It was DA from Davis & POL from his wifes name Polly, and he said the prouninciation they preferred was as if the DA was the first syllable of David
