Shades Of The Past

   
Many of the preserved diesel and electric locomotives today have been delightfully taken back further in time to their 1960's guises wearing the liveries they originally were designed for. This also gives the chance for the younger generation to appreciate the machines role in history.....and a chance for the railway centres to re-create a 1960's atmosphere along with their steam locomotives. This section see's the rail blue machines (and some that didn't make the rail blue years!) taken back in time, to an era when 'gay' meant happy, 'grass' was something you cut on a Sunday afternoon, and 'going all the way' was what you did when you travelled on an omlibus to the terminus!
