SUMMARY:1\,000 eggs on a bicycle! - Colin Boocock
DESCRIPTION:35018 Bournemouth Belle in 1956 Colin Boocock is\, among other things\, a member of the Railway Photographic Society\, having been a railway photographer covering much of the world in the 79 years since he started taking pictures. He worked for British Rail and Railtrack for 41 years and then part-time for a decade or so after he retired from full-time work. He is also the author of many magazine articles and railway books. \n1\,000 eggs on a bicycle! consists largely of railway photographs taken in every year since 1947\, the year Colin first started railway photography\, right up to the present day. A number of clubs have enjoyed their first showing immensely. This was partly because of the huge range of railway content\, all types of trains in all sorts of places in the U.K. and in many other countries of the world. The reason for the bizarre title of the show must remain a secret until your club sees it.
