About highpeakman

Profile Information

  • Location
    Close to the GN & GE Joint Rly north of Lincoln.
  • Interests
    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.

    Attended Doncaster Show this weekend. Great layouts and interesting stands. Generally enjoyable but why are so many visitors so inconsiderate to others? Barging, pushing and blocking stands is only part of it. In Worlds of their own. Left after 3 hours as getting so fed up with it. Old subject I know but fresh in mind again.

      I am not so sure of the mefirst. Most offenders are in their own little world and can actually look straight at you but obviously don't see you. Eyes glazed and vacant!

      Sorry to hear you suffered! They do get around; I was filming some bits and one bloke seemed to deliberately keep swinging his bag The resistance increased each time. ;)
