Just to make you feel really old, 1975 was 3 years before I came into existence ;) :D

My grandparents used to live in Weymouth and they took me down to see the boat trains a few times, must have been sometime between 1988 and 1992-ish - thoroughly enjoyable, and I still like to see video and pictures of it to this day.

Hi Phill, i like the photo :thumbs: . 1975.....mmmmm i was 9 and always wanted to go to Laira or Plymouth station or Exeter but dad said it was tooooo far and would cost toooo much :cry: so we ended up going to all sorts of places which if i remember correctly Weymouth was one. ( and for my little brain, Weymouth / Exeter not that much difference in distance :headbang: :rolleyes: ) but seeing it was his driving,car,petrol etc i really didnt have a leg to stand on.
Oh happy days.....

I was only 11, we used to go to Newquay on holiday too , so me & my brother used to catch a Western back to Plymouth & a bus to Laira to cop all the Westerns :drool: :cool: :cool: :cool: .........there didn't seem much point in going after the summer of 76 :( , Exeter & Reading were favourite spotting places for me too..........much more interesting than my native Yorkshire :scratch:

Great pics Phill :thumbs: At least you had a camera :headbang: i (according to my dad) wasnt old enough for a camera. He also thought i didnt know how to use one properly so he would'nt let me use his to take pics.Of course i would have only took pics of WESTERNS and not what my dad took 50,47,46,45 etc and not many westerns :headbang: :rolleyes: I still give him grief about it but i think it falls on deaf ears.
