When I was a boy 40+ years ago, my dad used to take me to places like the Bluebell Railway and Didcot. My favourite part was walking around the sheds and yards. As I remember it (my memory may be inaccurate), in those days you could pretty much wander about unsupervised. I remember clambering up onto the footplates of locos at Didcot (not locos in steam, obviously), which seemed so big and high when I was small. What's it like these days?
