Thought I'd just add my history here...lol. Born 1952, Gosport. Only local memories are the green EMU's leaving Portsmouth Harbour and a Q1 not far from my home on the truncated branch from Fareham to Gosport at the junction with the MOD line into Frater Depot. I remember being fascinated by this rusty, simmering weird looking loco...... Other than that my train spotting was limited to an annual week with my grandparents in Grantham; A4's, A3's and Deltics etc thundering through made rows of green carriages pale into insignificance I'm afraid!
