I lived in Great Barr, just down the road from Bescot in the 1980’s it was great such a busy station

Nice one Paul. Have you got any photos or video from 'back in the day'?

[@paulosbourne3131]

@@thegridnutter8377 Unfortunately not, I wasn’t into photography in those days, keep up the good work I look forward to seeing some more of your collection.

Incredible how run down everything looks, and yet it's a rail enthusiast's dream!!

[@thegridnutter8377]

I'm so glad that people take some inspiration from these videos for modelling purposes as well as the historical content. Cheers for the comment

Love all the liveries of the time. IC, RD, Big logo, Grey/red big logo, RM, that grey and yellow one.

Cheers Geoff, hope it was a quick fix!!
