Thanks for posting Woody ,used to love going on the old steam trains still remember the smell of the steam.
Have you seen this, the old West Brom Station. http://disused-stations.org.uk/w/wes...ch/index.shtml

[WOODLANDSWOLF]

I visit that dis-used station site a lot, there's a bunch of interesting stuff in there. I remember West Brom station very well and of course the old Hawthorns Halt, wooden platforms and all. Remember many a dark winters afternoon skulking back there after being robbed at your place!

Hi Woody, I got married in 84. In 1974 I nearly emigrated to Canada got offered a job,a work mate of mine went and done r well for himself. When you look back on life you wonder what might have been. But life's been good to me, if I had gone i wouldn't have met my wife.

There you go mate, you made the right decision no doubt. I loved my life in the UK at the time I was offered transfer to the US, but I am the kind of person that if I hadn't have taken it the old "what if" would have haunted me for the rest of my life.
