      We had a BLS tour to Cattewater last May, generally a friendly bunch, and not many buffer kisses amongst them, from what I could make out (but then again, I did actually get out and kiss the buffers myself)...

      I can do all that but not too good when trying to show something with detail

  18. Michael Delamar

    Gets me how there is great quality photos from the 50s and 60s that 70s 80s 90s shots can be so poor quality

      Cheap or "free" colour film supplied by the processers?

      Consider that someone has "chosen" what pictures to show from the earlier periods. The duff ones are ignored.

      I bet the better quality 50's and 60's shots you're talking about came from larger negatives. Filmstock was more expensive and photographers were a bit more picky about what and when they fotted.

      Geoff's Flickr site is a real goldmine for transport pictures. The Peter Shoesmith album has about 250 old railway shots back to about 1947
