A few of my latest pictures will appear here first - the rest in the appropriate gallery

A few shots of the odd miniature railways around the UK

A visit to Britain's oldest miniature railway which runs around the Marine Lake, Rhyl and first opened on 1st May 1911. We should be eternally grateful to the Rhyl Steam Preservation Trust who revived the line's fortunes and to the enthusiasts who now run it throughout the year on a voluntary basis.

A visit to the excellent Bure Valley Railway in deepest Norfolk on 27th July 2007

A number of visits to the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway, which operates along Cleethorpes' foreshore and Lakeside. The CCLR is now one of the country's premier 15 inch gauge light railways.
Here are some pictures of the original line and the 2007 extension including some from the great gala weekend on 8th September 2007 andmy most recent visit on Easter Monday 13th April 2009.
It also boasts 'England's smallest pub' in the signal box at Lakeside which I can thoroughly recommend!

A few visits to the friendly 10 1/4 inch gauge Rudyard Lake Steam Railway in 2005, 2006 and 2007 - I finally made it when it wasn't raining on 5th August when visitors to the Rudyard Lake Festival were making the most of the railway's Park and Ride facility.
I also attended their steam gala on 30th September 2007

One picture of the Ratty - more to follow

A couple of visits to the Stapleford Miniature Railway at August Bank Holiday 1995 and twelve years later in 2007 . The world famous 10 1/4" gauge railway is based in Stapleford Park near Melton Mowbray, Leics, England.

The railway is only open to the public twice a year.

A few visits to the splendid Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in September 1998, February and July 2004 plus a number of video grabs in March 2005. Also included are a couple of earlier pictures from 1962 when I recollect travelling by BR train to New Romney
