I have a lot to talk about regarding railways especially steam. I started train spotting at Luton in 1949. I've been mad about trains ever since........that's about fifty six years !!! ......... Steam Trains are magic!
I visit Heritage Steam Railways all over Britain very often with my pal Ernie.

Together with my sons we built a total of fourteen Model Railways in our loft. My eldest son David has a collection of British Modern Image Models.

My friend Lee in Lincolnshire, has built a Garden Railway. For more information go to Lee's Garden Railway on the Railways Index Page.
I have a program called  'TRAINZ' loaded in my computer and build huge  model railway layouts. A great train simulator. My friends in Scotland are very interested in 'TRAINZ' too, but also another simulator called 'BVE'.  Have a look at their web site by clicking on this link.....  http://www.2ofme.co.uk/html/trainsims.

Since Video Corresponding with my friend Clyde in Florida, I have become interested in overseas railways, especially East China Steam ..... Fascinating stuff!!!

I have now become interested in photographing Modern Image. With my pals Dave and Ernie as well as my sons and grandsons we visit various railways like The East Coast Main Line, The Northampton Loop and various places on the Midland line. We take photographs and shoot video film. Many other people also do this and by chatting with them one learns a great deal about the timings of trains and the changes that are taking place on the national network.
