I had as great three weeks in Perth, Western Australia during October. Lots of site seeing and travelling. I also managed to grab a fgew photos and bit of video. Also on my travels I came across two railway museums. One at Boyanup and the other at Yellingup to the south of Perth. I will send...

I had a pleasant visit to the Society's 50th Anniversary day. Went with my son, his wife and grandson, Jack. It was the first time he saw and travelled on a train and it was nice seeing his reaction to everything. The weather was terribly, mostly rain with a few bright moments. It's been a...

While doing the Dundee & Newtyle Railway walks I was disappointed in how little remains, especially of the buildings and equipment such as the Engine Houses etc. The only incline railway that is still much in situe in this regard is the old Cromford & High Peak Railway, which had nine inclines...

I have just managed to put up my very first videos on YouTube. My first attempt at converting wasn't very successful, quality wise, but I sent them up not realising that I couldn't delete them once I worked out a better quality format so I have been left with two versions of the Forth & Tay...

Here are a good number of photos, mostly taken between the 70's & 80's. Most were never accepted due to poor exposure or errors in processing. I home processed my own transparencie and cine films and these were early days when erros easily crept in. However most of these photos have recently...

Over the past year I have been working on a web site dedicated to the Dundee & Newtyle Railway (D&N). Initially I used a lot of screen grabs from Google Street views and was very pleased at how many places I managed to get to. They were really good photographs. However, this April I carried out...

While having a weekend in Glasgow I managed a day out on the electric services to Ayr, stopping off at Troon and Irvine. I only took train photos at Ayr as there wasn't much to see at the latter two station but did miss an EWS Class 66 on a coal trip as it passed our unit. After returning to...

Someone sent me this link, which I think worth sharing with others. This guy not only has incredible modelling skills but knows his photography too. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24796741@N05/sets/72157604247242338/show/with/2346008881/

Interesting story on how to keep the trains running, even if few actually get to board this Inverness to Aberdeen train. http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/Article.aspx/1524896

I have recently sent up my latest railway photos to my Fotopic pages. Most were taken during a few hours visit to Inverurie. The line was closed from Inverurie to Elgin due to engineering work, with bus connections to Elgin then by train once again from Elgin to Inverness. I decided to remain at...

I have updated my Fotopic site with the railway photos taken during my stay in and around Aberdeen during September. Nothing very special this year as I really didn't do any deliberate train hunting but got a few shots here and their, mostly during a day visit to Inverurie. On the Saturday the...

The Tyne Valley update is now available. The download worked first time and I soon had everything running with no problems. The main route is from Carlisle to Newcastle with an extension to Sunderland. I first ran the HST over in the none-stop route and I was very impressed with your updates...

It's been quite a while since I uploaded any photos. I enjoyed a nice day at the National Tramway Museum on Monday (August Bank Holiday) and have uploaded the photographs in three sections. I spent 50 minutes at Derby station waiting for the 10.50 to Matlock and filled the time browsing the...

My old workmate Brian Daniels has taken an excellent set of photos between Oxford and Worcester during the recent snow fall. You could almost learn the route from them. There is a really excellent array of semaphore signalling, which really needs recording as who knows how much longer they will...

Hi, Anyone know what's happened with the Railway Herald? Some while back it went down due to some sort of none payment of the account but this looks more serious. The link stated that as an account holder that I should have received an email on this fact but if I did receive it I haven't seen...

I have just completed the latest updates for my Ellon-Boddam railway web site. I managed to make contact with an Alan Sangster who wrote a book on the line back in the 80's and he has given me permission to use some of his old photos and he has also added some comment. From my three walks in...

It's been a while since I had anything new to add but in September I had a very nice two weeks in Aberdeen and managed to get out and about most days and to include visits to the Royal Deeside Railway, Keith To Dufftown Railway and a first visit to Stirling and a run on the new Alloa branch...

I thought that you might enjoy browsing these 1970's photos of the Chiltern line, from Greenford to Princess Riceborough, on the Didcot-Chinnor coal train. My old work colleague, Brian Daniels, took them. Probably when route learning. The photos give a good idea of the layout and the...

Earlier this year my son included a 2 Gig Memory Pen with my birthday presents. I had not used one before and wasn't sure what I would actually use it for. However, I eventually started saving a load of photographs of a collection of Trains, Trams Buses Old time photos etc and the immediate...
