That’s great.
The subject of Pachelbel reminded me of this from John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme on Radio 4 on the plague of being the composer of a one-hit wonder.
a railway haunting
(from my beloved Blyth Power, who incorporate punk rock, folk music and trainspotting into their songs of ancient betrayals, backstabbing and general historical ne’er do wells. Imagine the Sex Pistols and Steeleye Span jamming, and then sacking it off to make some sandwiches and fill a thermos because they’ve heard that 66722 “Sir Edward Watkin” might be passing through Laira that afternoon).
A perfect synopsis there, @kid-dynamite
Train spotting, history and erstwhile day job as editor of Scale Action Modeller: you calling Joseph Porter a nerd?
I was a plane spotter and a train spotter in my day – kept me off the street.
And in the sky.
Brilliant! Watched that while sat on the empty stock I’d brought in to Platform 5 at Chester!
