South of the river

Wonderfully evocative film of life at Waterloo Station in Southern Railway days.

A topper is proper if the train's a non-stopper!

Thanks for that, hq1. I just love those glimpses of another time. I was hoping to find other railway films on that site, but no such luck.
Cheers, Giner

Piqued by that brief portion of MN 21C6 towards the end of the film, I dug around a bit and found this: http://www.bulleidlocos.org.uk/(S(osakn ... JohnC.aspx

Turns out the fellow who built it is originally from within 'our' territory and is looking to build a P2! Might be worth keeping an eye on this fella.
