Hello and Welcome to the blog of my Zenfolio site.

Ideally I would like this to be the first port of call for visitors to this site as all updates and relevant links will be posted here, so therefore it will be easier to see my most recent pictures whether it be rail, road or miscellaneous photographs. Of course there is also the search facility on the site too in case you want to look for a specific loco number, vehicle registration plate or a keyword.

There will always be something happening on here, whether it's recent pics being uploaded or older negatives and slides being scanned on (more applicable to the railway side of things). 

 

New Format For 2025.

December 23, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

Well, as 2024 begins to draw to a close, I have decided to change for the format for the way I display photo's in 2025.

Currently, I have separate collections for different subject matter like Trains And Railways 2024, Road Haulage 2024 etc etc. From 2025, there will be just ONE collection, and this will be for the year with each photo session being in their own individual gallery. At the moment, especially for the railway side of things, there is a collective gallery for the year but from 2025, they will be individual galleries for each session. As such there could be 2 photo's in a gallery or 200 photo's - it really does depend on what I photograph on a certain day.

In the meantime, I would like to wish ALL of you a very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year.

For some reason or other, I seem to be getting spam on my guestbook. Please rest assured that those comments have NOTHING to do with me whatsoever and I am in no way affiliated with those who are posting those various links. I am currently working on a way to have this stopped.

Thank You :)

As the weather was dickying about, mostly raining, I only stayed for an hour or so as there was also some other freights in the area which required my attention.
