Changing my era to late 1970s BR Blue London Midland region.
Grew up with BR blue and the start of sectorisation (1982-86); based on what I saw living next to the York - Scarborough and Hull - Scarborough lines and my trips around the country during this period.
Steam - those locos that put in appearances on the Scarborough Spa Express.
DCC Sound.
20 minutes at York. Class 56 in Holgate Sidings, Class 47 running through with a 2 coach Pullman rake and a pair of 20s in the loco sidings. Happy memories of 1986.
