Oh, memories! Lichfield TV was the closest WCML spotting place to Birmingham, where I lived as a child. Together with friends, I would take the train to Lichfield City (four shillings return, 20p in today's money), then take the long walk down the road to the TV station where we would camp out in the lineside field by the bridge at what must have been the southern end of the station, for the day, "copping" semis, Scots, Jubilees and the then-new D200-class diesels, on the trains to the north and south. A long day, but a lot of fun. There was also a factory on the road between the two stations, which sold snacks and lemonade from a window just off the road - I son't know whether they were officially allowed to sell to us spotters, but it was good to be able to pick up a large bottle of R.White's lemonade (with the old stone screw-in tops) for 1/3d, including a 3d deposit on the bottle. Ah, as i said, memories!
Sounds like you all had a lovely time! It must have been exciting to see those at the time new diesels! Thanks for watching!
@@adamstrainvideos It was exciting; the later builds of the D200-class had train service indicators on the front, split into two numbers at each side of the nose. A strange way to do it; later versions were set up as one would expect, and combined all four characters in one indicator in the middle of the front. When we saw a 2x2 one we yelled out "sticking-out-things" because that's exactly what they looked like, add-on boxes that stuck out from the side.
Being a KZhead is hard, keep up with the good work😊❤
Thanks! It can be a bit challenging with some things, but it's mostly smooth sailing! Thanks for watching!
