Very nice, I bet the gatekeeper had plenty of time for gardening!

I love to see some of these old photos as it puts the line into better perspective.

Now, that does make you feel warmer on a cold day. It brings that old photo to life.

That's a great photo. Now I have to alter my simulator to look like it !

Sorry if this one of Fimber Road has been published but it shows it in 1962 according to the caption - just 4 years after closure but nature has taken over ? And since there is just a light layer of tarmac over the rails, are they still there ?

Here's the crossing in my simulation - I have just noticed the nearest chimney is wrong, sorry !
