Scunthorpe my home town up to 1968 all those years ago but great for a schoolboy who could see on his door step a busy railway 24/7. On Saturdays, the 9.15 to Doncaster for the day to see the final days of steam mixed with the modern on the ECML. Nothing like seeing an A4 or Deltic not stopping and storming through the centre road from the comfort of the station platform. Not a mobile phone in sight but what photo opportunities were missed back then. Halcyon days all the same.

It was a hive of industry that gave many jobs to people and also there were and still many places in and around Scunthorpe that are beautiful

[@andydavidson9440]

Mark, your videos refresh my memory, although I think I visited this area a few years earlier. The weathering detail you captured will help my modelling in time. It was an atmospheric place in those days ! Look forward to more posts

Hi there. seems strange going past there now as not so much going on with the depot now a plant depot and the steel works shrunk.
