Hi,
I have forwarded this Loftus link which will be of at least some interest to this group's members.

Subject: [Britains_Lost_Railways] Loftus Scrapbook
I've recently come across these excellent webpages on Loftus.
http://www.communigate.co.uk/ne/loftushistory/page8.phtml
The link I'm posting will take you to the 'Scrapbook' cut and pasted up by someone? It contains dozens of interesting snippets on life in Loftus. Do take the time to browse the pages to the end.
Whilst showing details of local marriages, Christmas parties, lightening strikes and 5ft snowdrifts, it concentrates heavily on the railway scene including the Carlin How Viaduct. Not only do these pages give a wonderful insight into the people of Loftus and how they lived, it demonstrates very clearly their love and dependance on the railway which once served this community.
Go to other heading in the right-hand colums also reveal a few interesting facts, including Paddy Waddells Railway and Skinningrove.
I'm sure you'll enjoy a breeze through these pages, a real flash back into a time-warp!
Enjoy
Nigel
