Sorry for the amateurish nature of these pages, but I my ideas of a vast database are rather expensive to set up online, especially when one has zero coding ability.
Each page can be reached from here – although they are also accessible independently by the urls. (Please scroll down).
The logic is quite simple with each year page having almost identical addresses. (Curiously, I have yet to find very much info from 1958).
I reckon there are now over 90,000 individual locomotive records on this site, with more to be added; and because of this I am compiling an index page of locations at –
https://spottinglogs.co.uk/index-to-loco-sheds/
This has lists of sheds and other locations for each year, so that anyone looking for a particular depot or area does not have to scroll through each year just to find them.
If you have any spotting notes that you don’t mind sharing with the internet, I do not mind typing them onto these pages – the more the merrier really. Photograph your pages of spotting notes as a jpeg, and/or send me any form of .xls .xlsx .doc file to –
wild_boar_fell@outlook.com
and I will do the rest.
Latest additions being –
18th/19th/20th/22nd December – additions to 1962
7th January – Apologies for the lack of additional data on this site for a couple of weeks. Just before Christmas the trackpad ceased to function on the laptop and although I managed to purchase a wifi mouse, the computer only recognised the right click which is of little use when trying to navigate the internet. All is well now as I have bought a refurbished laptop and am in the process of trying to rescue files from the old one.
19th January – At last I have managed to salvage the files, reformat the old drive and the wifi mouse left click is now recognised as well. Normal service will be resumes asap, once I can remember what I was intending to do next on Dec 23rd, when everything went belly-up.
