 | 11th Aug 2005 | 03. First Generation DMUs
You can't help but love 'em. Rattly, slightly smelly, but much nicer than a sterile Sprinter or similar.

Gutless wonders!
|
 | 19th Aug 2003 | 08. Class 37
Favourites amongst many, these veterans have provided sterling service on the main line, as many still do, and some have earned a less arduous retirement in preservation.
|

 | 19th Aug 2003 | 11. Class 47
Further veterans, these good looking machines were perhaps BR's most succesful mainline diesel.
|
 | 28th Jan 2004 | 14. Class 56 |
 | 31st Mar 2004 | 15. Class 57
These 'body snatchers' keep the good looking class 47 bodies going for a few more years.
|
 | 26th Jun 2004 | 16. Class 58 |
 | 19th Aug 2003 | 19. Class 60
BR's last diesel loco, these locos provide hard graft on freight nationwide.
|
 | 17th Oct 2003 | 20. Class 66 |
 | 29th Apr 2006 | 21. Class 67
Ugly and unloved, these machines have had little work since EWS lost Royal Mail traffic.

 | 8th Feb 2007 | A cold day at the Cold War Museum
8th February 2007: Alf and I went to RAF Cosford for the opening of the Cold War Museum. Numbers were kept down due to snow, but that made it easier to look round! A good museum, which deserves a return visit.

 | 19th Mar 2008 | Aviation Photos
At present, only pictures from Manchester International (Ringway). Possibly more to come, even though I don't know what most planes are, I enjoy the photography more than the contemporary railway scene.

 | 29th Jul 2006 | Dinorwig Quarries
A climb up a mountain on one of the hottest days of the year... well, we only got halfway up, but can you blame us?
|
 | 10th May 2007 | Edinburgh, May 2007
The second part of our honeymoon (see Diane's gallery for the first). Some fairly rough and ready pics, no editing done bar resizing.

Stunning trains these, high speed, high comfort, and very stylish. Even much newer trains can't come close to these in terms of quality.

 | 8th Feb 2005 | Middlewich Trains
The usually freight only branch from Sandbach to Northwich via Middlewich is my local line, and sees on average 8 trains a week. This is my attempt to document them.

"You'd light me a candle to show me the way
Let your rational reasoning teach me my role
What price your scandal when my dead man's handle
Takes over the train on instinctive control"
Somehow even the dullest of subjects come to life when a long exposure is needed...

 | 21st Oct 2004 | Railcar 50
On 15-17th October 2004 the Severn Valley Railway hosted a celebration of 50 years of first generation DMUs. I went on the Friday, when the railway was blissfully free of steam trains.

 | 29th May 2007 | Railway modelling
I'm a bit of a dabbler when it come to modelling. Interests include German HO, sectorisation era NSE area 00, transition era Cheshire Lines area 00, and 0 gauge hydraulics.

 | 6th Sep 2003 | Steam
Trainspotting is a natural state of humanity. However, there weren't always diesels around and folks had to make do with these things. Some even went as far as preserving them...
