18 de sept. de 2024 · Hi there, I'm very new to the hobby but have been uploading my captures to YouTube for the last week or so. I have been viewing locomotives from various different spots as the stations can be a bit overcrowded. I am wondering if anyone else does this? From bridges etc rather than stations.
6 de abr. de 2017 · Hi all, Please forgive me if this has been covered already, but I am relatively new to here.

22 de abr. de 2017 · I don't really know any areas for good old fashioned sit-in-a-field-in-the-rain type trainspotting anywhere, and as I'm based in the west country are there any good spots with lots of traffic around here? Wales wouldn't be a stretch, I have an unhealthy obssession with Pacers at the moment...

While you will see the occasional spotter/photographer at most main line stations, Doncaster seems to always have around 20 people on its platform ends. There were also at least three on Bently station today spotting which given Doncaster...
9 de sept. de 2013 · Hi all, I'm a new member. I'm 45, haven't been train spotting since a kid. I used to get an Ian Allan book with a all the numbers and neatly underline them. Is there such a book now? If so, which is the best please? Any tips gratefully received. Thanks.
25 de jul. de 2012 · Trainspotting is the number 1 thing people are ashamed to admit above anything else. It's because the average response you'd get from most people is horrendous.
