    Mainline Steam 2008
    Welcome
    Welcome to my 2007-2009 Railway Gallery.

    My main aim will be to give a flavour of operations in the North West of England, covering both Steam and Modern operations. But I will try to cover many other locations.
    Any comments are always welcome.
    If you want to purchase any photos - just contact me and i will be able to send Hi Res versions.
    Hope you enjoy what you see.

    About Me
    Ive been interested in Railways from a very early age as i used to go to the lineside with my father. This got me interested in Photography and led many years later to my job as a video Camerman ( with alot of Railway work). Digital Photography has re- ignited my interest in still Photography. Iam based Nr Carnforth.
