    My dad worked on British Rail for 40 years and my grandfather drove steam traction engines, so I grew up with rails and steam. I wouldn't consider myself a train buff but trains and steam things seem to have a strange attraction to me.

    A signalman in Norwich goods yard from about 1960 to 1975 then a train manager (ticket inspector) on Intercity to and from London for about 20 years, with the last 5 years in a ticket office at Stowmarket. He didn't like to be out in the cold or get his hands dirty!
