Welcome
Welcome to my site, for those who do not know me I have had an interest in railways for over 40 Years after been introduced to Jubilee's, Black 5 and 8's, 9f's and Brits at Mirfield Stn. My initial interest, collecting numbers took me all over the network. I was a member of the Dalescroft Railfans Club and the Rail Enthusiasts Society, which allowed access to various depots.
I soon started to record on film what I saw, my first with poor camera's are not very good( some may say no change there then). It wasn't until the 1980's when I purchased a Pentax that the quality improved. I have hundreds of slides and prints which I am Currently scanning, when time permits for this site.
The camera's I currently use are an Olympus 5050z digital. I have also added a Canon 20D to my equipment, and more recently I have purchased a Canon 40D and a compact Canon G7.
I use Sigma 24-70 f2.8 and Sigma 70-200 f2.8 lenses.
I hope you have the same amount of pleasure looking at these pictures as I do taking them.
