We were too poor to have fantasies and trains? We could only dream of trains from our shoe box on the M1.
Actually, my childhood was a happy one, even if a little make do and mend. I thought I would be a tractor driver but, living in the countryside, it was hardly a fantasy. Before health and safety, I would perch on the back of a local farm worker's tractor as he ploughed the fields. Looking back, it was a crazy thing for a young boy but then, so many things were.
