No offence goatman, but it was there for the taking.
Glad you survived IKEA.

I don't believe it's true at all goatman, but I can't resist an opening when I see it.
That's probably because I have a very inquisitive nature.
Back in the late 1950's, could only have been about 5 or 6, mom had one of those electric irons that had a small light bulb in a socket on the side of the iron.
Quite modern at the time they were.
Anyway, the bulb on me mom's iron was missing and I said, still remember them exact words "Mom, what's that hole for?", whilst poking a finger into said hole.

Soon found out, didn't I.
As the saying goes, "little things please little minds", and that is so true in my case.

Went shopping today at a retail park, and the wife does her bit and I go and stand in the top floor of a store that overlooks a railway line.
Just as the wife re-joins me, (I often come apart), I notice a very familiar shape out of the corner of my eye, slowly coming up to a red signal.
I can only see the first few feet of the nose of the loco, and says to the wife that's a 37.
I tell her I must go outside and as close to the line I can get before the train gets clearance to move.
By the lineside, I can see two 37s, one at each end of an Overhead Cable Inspection Train, just gently throbbing away, then a beautiful crescendo of music as 2 English Electric 12CSVT engines roar into life and take the train away.

I just stood there in awe of the sight and sounds that took me back to the period of the the 60s - 80s, when I was an avid train spotter and railway photographer.

For those that want to know what excited me today, this is an example.

Certainly a wonderful testament to a great loco, that it is still performing main line passenger duties 50 years on.
I loved all the English Electric locomotives, from the humble 08 shunter to the mighty Deltics.
My overall favourite was the EE Type 4 (Class 40), which appeared frequently in the Wolves area on passenger duties, before electrification cascaded them down to freight turns, in the mid-60s.
But even during the '70s and early '80s, I was photographing them and 37s on the North Wales line and the Trans-Pennine routes.

Such magnificent sounds, not like the sanitised hair dryer sounds of today.

Enjoy the Gt Yarmouth - Norwich runs.
Can we expect some caps? Big Grin
Sophia Lares & Tara Spades on the same night. SmileSmileSmile

Everything comes to he who waits.
Really happy today I had no work for next week and now I have 4 days of work SmileSmile
