MrWolf Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 1 hour ago, Darius43 said: Cheers Darius Like it's 1973 again. It makes me realise how much things have changed even in my lifetime. Personal opinion, but I always think that the details outside of the railway are just as important as those on it. They convey a sense of time and place that makes the whole scene convincing. 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted August 8 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8 This street is similar to the one in Hillingdon which was home for me from 1965 to 1967 from age 0 to 2 - not that I remember it much but we have old photos. In 1973 I turned 8 and was given my first wristwatch - an Ingersoll - and joined the local cub scouts. Happy days. Cheers Darius 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Funny how an image like that takes you back. It's already got me thinking about 70s Coventry, those concrete street lamps that still had sodium bulbs that gave a sharp bluish light and noisy buses that always smelt of hot oil and cigarette smoke. Sounds bad, but I miss it! 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owe you a virtual pint. I shall go back and correct that because those lazy good-for-nothing railway workers are still messing around chatting. Better depth of field on the replacement snap as well so all good in the end. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
