Deltics Rule!!

Model Railway
Welcome
Hi and thanks for dropping by.

This is some of my photo collections which is being continually expanded. I made the transition from traditional SLR to a digital SLR about 12 months ago, so most of the older pics that i am in the procees of uploading will be scans, from my 35mm days.

As there isn't much excitement on the big railway these days most of my photos are of preserved galas and visits, although there is a healthy dose of railtours in there too!

I try to avoid taking pics of GM rubbish wherever possible although nowadays there isn't a great deal else to see! ( I understand how my dad felt when steam finished!!)

I will also keep updating my model railway gallery, my garage is my sanctuary and will one day be a tribute to the ECML in the late 70's/early 80's.

Hope you all enjoy.

    Layout_Plan.JPG   Layout Plan. Station is based on the principle of Mancheter Piccadilly, i.e Terminus with 2 through lines. Yard contains 4 through sidings and any of the running lines can be accessed from any siding. Depot is based on no-where specific but i have used ideas from various actual depots.  Model Railway  (353)
