If you've not visited flickr recently you will notice some changes, but everything is still there.

The latest images are a mix of all the "Big Four" areas, but a lot are on ex LNER lines.

This evening I added the last images from Dad's black and white photos, there are now around 1450 of them on my flickr site,
covering mainly the Cambridge, Grantham, Noattingham and Rugby areas from around 1947 to 1955.

To see them go to my flickr site, just as before, at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidwf2009/

Then either work your way through the photostream, or click on "sets" and go the set you want to look at.

Hi David,

I have spent hours in your albums and I'm astonished at your Dads photographs. Anything about Nottingham Victoria Station interests me as my Dad and I visited the place in 67 when the site had but several more months of survival left. My memories of our visit that day are vivid and your Dads shots highlight a better and busier time with the station in a state of reasonable repair than when I saw it.

In terms of my modelling curiosity, your Dad’s shots have been enormously helpful and I’ll be using them as a reference point for several modelling projects we have in the British area at our Club.

I know what you have done is a lot of work and I’m sure many have had their lives enriched by your willingness to share the great legacy of your Dad’s photographic passion with the camera and steam.

Thanks mate.

Steve

I second everything that Steve says.

The Grantham photos are priceless. A4s on goods trains, B12s on what I guess are Peterborough and Lincoln stoppers, an O4 on a motley selection of iron ore hoppers, before the tipplers were in service, and even a B16.

And that is before we get to the more usual Pacifics and V2s on expresses.

A superb collection. Thanks very much David.
