All the colour photographs were taken by the author unless otherwise stated.
At the present time most of the black and white photographs are from unknown sources.
Part were obtained during the 1970's from various sales stands at numerous BR Open Days, whilst more recently many have been obtained through E-Bay, where provenance is frequently uncertain. If you know who may have taken them please let me know.
The pictures are generally from 50K to 175K, most are attached to a text which are
updated/improved as time and information permits.
![]() In loving memory of Drena, wife and best friend of almost forty years, who passed away mid-December 2020 after a long battle with kidney disease and diabetes. Our journey began back in August 1980 whilst on a Swansea - Paddington HST, returning from a Landore Open Day, being joined in the coach at Cardiff by a group of tourists from Southern California, which included Drena who were also headed for Paddington. A chance encounter, a wonderful relationship, and although now briefly separated, a journey to be completed in Heaven through the promises of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour.
