Thank you for visiting my channel. Most of my films are of main line steam and events at or visits to heritage railways. Occasionally I will film other trains around on the network, plus I film at model railway exhibitions from time to time.

Like so many people, there were railwaymen in previous generations of my family, and my dad instilled a love of steam trains in me from a pretty early age. He had plenty of tales to tell from his family's life on the railways and his own pre-war experiences and 40+ years of commuting by train. I do not profess to have any technical knowledge - I just enjoy being in the presence of these phenomenal machines. I hope you will find something here you enjoy.
