Locomotive scrap scenes of the 1980's

Welcome

Hi and welcome. I took most of these photographs during the 80's when I was living in Leicester. I'm pretty sure I have a load more of the 'pyramid' that I shall scan and put on the site.
I hope you get pleasure (if thats the right word) from viewing them, and remembering the loco's in question in their prime as I do.
Feel free to take a look at the depot layout i am building, plus a selection of my favourite photo's in the 'favourite pictures' collection of this photobook.

Photograph Info

Most, if not all the pictures you see here, and on the sister class 37 locomotive gallery are from 6x4inch photgraphs scanned digitally at 600dpi using a HP4370 scanner.
All i have done in photshop is crop and save from Bitmap to Jpeg before posting here.
No other Digital tomfoolery has been done.
