The Rolling Stock Observer - introduction
Greetings! Not only did I mis-spend my youth trainspotting but I also mis-spent it "collecting" coaching stock numbers. I have a fascination with numbers (somebody has to!) I did numerous "overnighters", traipsed round carriage sidings in the dead of night, visited scrapyards and railway depots for those elusive departmental vehicles and had a wonderful and exciting time - I was young then.
What is The Rolling Stock Observer?
Detailed observations of passenger and non-passenger carrying coaches and departmental stock observed at Chesterfield and around the country in the 1980s and beyond.
Who is it for?
I have no idea why anyone would be remotely interested in such a thing but if you want to know what coaches formed what trains and
when then this may be a helpful piece of reference work - or it may not! It could be useful for historians, modellers and anyone requiring
detailed information about railway operations from a bygone age - perhaps?
