Great information about various
collections, hopefully will lead to success at getting photo's of the Selsey
tramway near Chichester in West Sussex. Thanks for a great site and keep up the
good work!

Many thanks for the memories brought back
when I lived in Rugby as a kid. I lived next to the GC girder bridge, to the
west side of it. As a kid we used to go through a hole in the fence to sit
under the bridge to watch the trains go by and get covered with rust when a
train went over the top !!! What fun days.........
Take care all. Richard from Roswell,
Georgia, USA
I spent many happy hours in the 50's at
the trackside opposite the Water Orton Junction signalbox. Visiting your well
informed site brought back many memories. Thank You!

Many thanks for the opportunity for me to
view again the ex-LMS and BR scene - as I now live in Australia and have only a
child's memories of the late 50s and early 60s. My maternal grandfather, Thomas
Dyke of Spondon in Derbyshire, worked for the LMS and lastly BR. A most
enjoyable visit.
Paul Cannon
A very interesting website which I have
been visiting for some months. I have found an error in your spelling of
'Wooton Wawen', you have it as 'Wooten Wawen'. Keep up the good work.
John Fancote
An accidental discovery. Great memories
from my youth. My father was a signalman in No 1 box at Rugby (retiring in
1965) and I spent many a happy Sunday with him after taking him his lunch. My
fascination for the LMS and steam in particular has been rekindled. Many
thanks

I was so thrilled to find your site and
indulge myself in memories of Brinklow Railway station. I come from Brinklow
and was born in 1951. In those early years of my life I was often walked from
the village up to the station. I loved going inside and remember the wooden
floor and window at the rear. I would press my nose up against it, waiting with
eager anticipation of seeing a train.
It was so exciting when one came into
view and I remember so clearly, the sound and the vibration, as it passed
underneath us, followed of course - by the steam!! We were satisfied with such
simple pleasures back then. Do you happen to know when Brinklow Station was
demolished? Looking at you site which is excellent, has been a joy for me - a
trip down memory lane and I wish to express my thanks to you.
Jean Mills
Wonderful site. Takes me back to my
childhood seeing engines in and out of 2B Shed, and the surrounding areas.
Colin Bishop
Thanks for an excellent site.
Bernard Dodd
I live in Poleswoth not far from the
station which is now closed and can see the trains from my bedroom window. It
is nice to see it as it was when I was a youngster.
John Holland
Great historic pictures. I drive trains
on the West Coast Main Line and its great to see how the railway use to look
compared to what is left to see today. Thank you for all the hard work.

Keep up the good work – a very
interesting site

I have spent many hours looking through
this site which I am sure I have read from start to finish many times. As a
young boy I spent many hours trainspotting at Rugby Midland Station and saving
my pocket money in the late fifties and early sixties to get a platform ticket
and getting a name tag printed on metal strip on platform two.
Now that I have retired and with a hobby
background in model railway construction and computer generated 3D imaging I
wish to embark upon the task of recreating Rugby Midland Station as it was
whilst the signal gantry was still in place by the LNER girder or Birdcage
bridge.
I wonder if you could help me. I am in
dire need of a track plan. Absolutely anything will do. Ideally I should like
to recreate the tracks 3 miles either side of the station. If someone could
point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. A great site,
absolutely invaluable not least as a reference source.
Best wishes,
John Pointon
Glad to have found this website.
Wonderful photos of that bygone age. My own period of observation and
photography of the GC around Rugby (and beyond) spanned the years
1957-1965.
Tony Newman
Just the sort of website we have been
looking for, with reference to books on branch lines around rugby I didnt know
existed. Thanks.
Andrew and Alex Lection
Congratulations on a great nostalgic rail
site. Wonderful collection of photos & video clips. Long may you reign.
Brian Craggs
What a great site. Now I know what the
strange blue brick paved terraces in The Dog car park at Water Orton were for!
Keep up the good work.
Mike Newport
Great site good luck in expanding it
Chris Griffin
An excellent website

About 60 years ago I emerged from a
Euston train in order to go across to Snow Hill to make the final stage of my
journey back to my unit in Salop. The arched canopy glass of the station had
been badly damaged by a fall of incendiaries and had not yet been repaired....

I have placed the Warwickshire Railways
amongst my favourites so that I can find it for future viewing.
Best regards Alan Sainty
What a splendid site. I am about to start
modelling Four Oaks station in the early '60s and your photos have provided
excellent material. I'll return again to view and read the entries.
Alan Sheasby
A most enjoyable site. I live in Rugby
and particularly enjoyed the pictures of Rugby station albeit they depict a
period before I moved here. However, I have to claim the prize for the
deliberate mistake. The loco in photo lnwrrm723 is actually 71000 "Duke of
Gloucester"; Britannia is number 70000.
All the best. Eric Seddon
