Well Done, Lad

Got myself a Valoi Easy35 and a used Nikon 60mm AF-D for some negative scanning.

 

My very first train spotting day out was on a special (class 47 hauled) from my home town of Stafford to Bristol Temple Meads, where this shot was taken. It was, I think, in the autumn or winter of 1980.

 

I have no recollection of taking this, but i'm very pleased with my 14 year old self, have to say. Dad had let me borrow his Canon fixed lens camera.

 

That's my friend Rob. HSTs were a novelty for us at that point, having never seen them before.
