Very broad interests but perhaps focused more on BR Midland - Derbyshire, Notts and Lincs areas in late 50s/60s - Wirksworth, Buxton, Cromford & High Peak in particular - Also GC Main Line around Nottingham + any Industrial railways (NG and Standard). Old enough to remember C&HP in working order, Trent Junction Station, Derby Works in full flow, Windcutters at Nottm Victoria, prototype Deltic at Grantham and a few other things I miss.A believer in modelling to capture the feeling/atmosphere of the time/prototype even if some details are not correct and of the right to run what I like.
Getting dark out and heaving down with rain. Driving conditions not nice but some numpties driving on sidelights only (if any lights at all). Why? All cars should be wired so they cannot be driven with only "parking lights" on. Headlights on if ignition on - simple!
As the use of headlights in poor visibility is already law it seems that these people have forgotten what they were taught by instructors (if they ever were taught). Just plain common sense should be the principal reason but I am now too old to be hopeful on that score.
