	7th Oct 2009	STRail Corporate Day at Peak Rail (21 images) STRail held one of their Workshops at Peak Rail on 7-Oct-2009. After presentations at the Whitworth, lunch was provided as the train moved through the Derbyshire Countryside. The guests then studied the level crossing solutions provided by STRail. Two SRS road/rail work vehicles were also in attendance.
	6th Sep 2009	Howrah Station, Kolkata, India (6 images) Scene of so many arrivals and departures, this 16-platform terminus has entered the Indian consciousness as a vert special place. Security fears mean that you can no longer take photographs inside the station.

Welcome

I've always been interested in railways, but I was in my 40s before I became involved with preservation, initially with the 'Lion' supporters' group, the Old Locomotive Committee (OLCO). 'Lion' is no longer in steam but I'm still a member of OLCO. I'm also involved with a number of other organisations and I drive regularly at The Battlefield Line, Peak Rail, Derbyshire Dales Railway and the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester. These are some of the photographs which I've taken or, in a few cases, which friends have taken.

About Me

I've been an electronics engineer for over 40 years and I'm interested in history, the industrial revolution, science, railways and, well, lots of things. I believe in what one of my heroes, Richard Feynmann called "The Joy of Finding Things Out".
