I am a Registered Architect working for a large sprinkler company and have lived in Ayrshire since 1996 (prior to that I spent over 30 years in the "New Town" of Cumbernauld) and have being taking photographs (of varying standard!!) for around 38 years. While I have spent most time on photographing trains I also spent a number of years photgraphing buses and in the past 5 years have returned to my Model Railways.
I now have a 'Real' Railway Gallery, 'Model' Railway Gallery and my Bus Gallery.
Any comments on any of them are most welcome.

a visit to Derby for the Phoenix Railway Photographic Circle AGM on 28th February. Travelling by car on the Friday (27th) from Ayr, allowed around 3 hours at Stafford to take some photographs before heading to Derby around 6pm. Shots at Derby were taken on the 28th and also first thing on the morning of 1st March prior to return to Ayr.

Welcome to my railway photographic website which is still in the process of being developed. There are quite a lot of photos still to have the captions added - please bear with me on this - it will happen as time permits. I trust you enjoy it.
Most of the older photos on the site were taken with 2 Canon AE1 SLR's and have been scanned in via an Epson Perfection 4490 scanner.
Photographs from around February 2005 to Febraury 2009 were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 8700 but this has now been replaced with a Canon EOS 40D with a 18-55mm and 55-250mm lens. I am of course experimenting with this camera.
Any comments re the site are most welcome.
My long term aim is to scan all my black and white photos and display on this site but that at present will require a great deal of time and patience.
