For me it's (1) because I wasn't born until after 1968!

If we take sectorisation as meaning mid-80s then I probably fall into (2) as well, though the roots were a little before when my Gran and Grandad bought me a train set when age 7-ish.

For those of you who have grumbled at the Editorials in the RO go and read the one by Phil Deaves in the January issue - what a positive breath of fresh air. Well done Phil for cheering us all up, it's a far cry from the gloomy days of the 1970s - I have always considered the period from 1969 to 19...

One of the few things I am aware of is that the old system allowed a single click downliad of a pdf file and that the new system requires the pages to be selected and then compiled before downloading. A retrograde step in my view. Railway Herald have ? single click option that works very well. Why ...

I think it's retrograde step in not having a single click option of downloading the RO.

Thanks!

I originally joined for the library. I now attend such meetings and visits as are of interest to me and not a clash with other things. Additionally, I am a member to serve others with contributions to the RO.

Personally I'm not interested once a loco is sent for scrap. I agree. Actually, I'm not particularly interested *before* it's scrapped, either! The recent stamping of feet by various parties didn't interest me and to be frank I thought it was all a bit childish. I agree again. All sources are subje...
