My grandparents with whom I stayed lived in St.Katharine Street.<br />My cousins and I used to spend happy times on the links in Banff and on the beach.<br />We used to try to get under the little bridges so that the train would rumble over us.<br />I remember that the engines were turn on a turntable by hand at the Banff end of the line.<br />In 2006 had a poem published about the line.<br />I also remember the station platform at Banff being wooden.<br />Will send a copy of the poem if you are interested.<br />Happy days<br />Gordon LoveGordon Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129464835102475536noreply@blogger.com
