Brigg's first citizen, Coun Mike Doherty, our Town Mayor (pictured), has penned his memories of being a boy trainspotter, watching steam locos drift by in the late 1950s/early 1960s.
His illustrated jottings form a full page article in the Spring issue of Telegraph Trains magazine, on sale from Thursday, February 7, and costing just 75p.
Mike had his picture taken on Brigg railway station to go with the article, and can be seen clutching a treasured trainspotting book he's kept safe and sound for more than 40 years.
He was very pleased with a colour proof of his page of Telegraph Trains, when it was handed to him before the start of Monday's town council meeting in the Angel Suite.
