In September 1962, the author started revisiting his boyhood
trainspotting haunts at the London terminals - this time armed with
a newly purchased camera loaded with colour slide film. A few days
were thought adequate to record mainly steam at Kings Cross, Euston
and Paddington but after many viewing sessions of the resulting
slides over the winter, there was enthusiasm for more visits in
1963. So began a period over the next four years of travelling by
train, via the London terminals, all over the rail system to seek
out steam. Although steam was the priority, diesels were not
ignored - especially the early livery variants. The decade finished
up with several Specials being recorded from Kings Cross, with
LNER-liveried Flying Scotsman then the only standard-gauge steam
loco allowed on BR. Kings Cross, Paddington, Euston, Marylebone,
Waterloo and Victoria all appear in this collection, as well as the
author's 'home' terminal, Liverpool Street.
