Newly added pictures will appear in this section for a few weeks before being moved into the appropriate section below.

A large number of my DMU photos are of Chiltern units. I thought it would make for easier browsing if I put these in a separate section. These pictures are all of 165/0s, 168s, 121020 and the various Chiltern service units of classes 121/122/117. There is at least one picture here of every 165/0 and 168 in the fleet.

A section for what will be a growing collection of pictures featuring the open access operator Wrexham & Shropshire (WSMR). The four WSMR class 67s are all pictured here along with the various other EWS 67s that have been used on WSMR training and service runs.

Horton Road depot was my childhood haunt. By 1986 I had a camera and the depot was one of my most frequent subjects. In those days the depot was usually home to classes 31, 37, 47 and 56. Peaks were still regular visitors to Gloucester, although mainly on parcels traffic by this time and 50s were not infrequent on passenger or civil engineer's workings. The depot has now been reopened by Cotswold Rail. So many of my earlier photos feature the depot that I have put them into this separate section.

Another childhood haunt, now sadly just a memory. Reachable for pocket money prices plus the odd Rail Riders voucher, Bristol was a frequent destination for me, and much could be seen from the platforms of Temple Meads station. I even wangled a guided tour round the depot in 1988 as part of a Duke of Edinburgh Award "Railway Interest" hobby section.

Some steam pictures from heritage railways around the country - digital and scanned prints. More will be added as time progresses. If you detect a bit of a GWR bias then I would have to plead guilty.

A selection of photographs featuring trams, light rail and metro system and standard gauge cliff railways in the British Isles.

A collection of photographs of hauled passenger rolling stock, including driving trailers and ex-passenger coaches in departmental use.

Probably not of interest to the mainstream enthusiast, but I'm afraid as a driver this sort of picture interests me....

A selection of nameplates from locomotives, multiple units, coaching stock and on track plant.

Various works plates, number panels, wagon plates etc.

Various detail shots of multiple units, locomotives and coaching stock. Not a section that will have a broad appeal, but modellers etc. may find this a useful reference. More pictures to be added soon.

Photos of various signals (semaphore and colour light), items of signalling equipment and safety systems. For further information on signalling I recommend the "Railway Signs and Signals of Great Britian" site (see links).

Pictures of various track components.

A look at station nameboards of various styles. As well as a few examples of vintage signs this section aims to illustrate the various styles of PTE and TOC station signs.

Various items if lineside arcana.

The corporate logos of the passenger Train Operating Companies. Hopefully they won't object to their logos appearing here. All publicity is good publicity.

A pleasant feature of Network South East was the use of Edward Pond murals depicting local scenes on new and refurbished rolling stock. Much has now gone, but I recorded a complete set of Class 165/0 murals beore they were painted over plus a few other odds and ends.

NSE applied route branding to most rolling stock and the logos for these were also designed by Edward Pond. A selection is reproduced here with the kind permission of Edward Pond.

A selection of Network South East destination posters reproduced here with the kind permission of Edward Pond.

Advertisements and posters from the railway industry.

A few bits and pieces that don't fit anywhere else, mostly arcane in the extreme.
