Trains

Trains have been part of my life since I was very young. I grew up in a village on the Bluebell Railway, and regularly have the pleasure of being able to hear the whistles of the steam locomotives echoing across the hills. In recent years I have spent some time photographing various locomotives and infrastructure at the various stations on the Bluebell Railway, and recording the visiting locomotives during the annual Giants of Steam Gala. I am also in the early stages of designing a model railway layout, so in time, updates on this will also be posted to the page. Updates on the model railway in particular can be found clicking here.

Below are a collections of my various trainspotting expeditions:-
