If you like trains, then why not check out these two links where you can see even more of my trips across the UK, both present day train action and trains from the 1980s. You'll find passenger trains, freight trains, charters/railtours, unit drags, test trains, heritage railways, mainline steam, heritage diesels, drone shots and more - and also recently including my model railway updates too, following my progress from an empty room building up an N Gauge layout from scratch.
