The 1960s (which after all only began in 1963, we are told and was over by 1969) view of the preceding decade was a patronising, pitying one. That view has softened over the ensuing years and 'The Fifties' (at least they began in 1950 and lasted for thirteen years!) are seen with ever more affection. Certainly they were a minor golden age for steam in this country; large quantities of new steam locomotives appeared almost all the way through that blessed decade and Britain and its people were greatly richer and more comfortable at its end than at its beginning, to an extent that had been, up till then, unimaginable. There were plenty of diesel 'straws in the wind' by 1959 but steam effectively still reigned supreme and none of us dreamt how precipitate would be its demise. Fortunately the fledgling BR was forced to eschew dieselisation straight away, for reasons of money and the realisation that any effective new diesels would have to come from the United States. So it's an ill wind that blows no one any good. Something of those times (so fresh in our memories yet now half a century ago!) follow in 'Pause for Thought' in his issue.
