Railway modelling and historical articles
and photographs.

LNER BookSteve - bikeA personal compilation with a detailed index of articles published to date, along with updates and corrections of foul-ups that so often creep in for one reason or another.

The book (right) gets a similar treatment. Then it's a collection of modelling and traffic-related items that never got written up, or are in the pipeline. There's also a photographs section - historical and personal.

New material added 12th September 2026 (see also R.H. column).

The book took 12 years for me and Clive to complete and, though I say so myself, Ian Allan have made a beautiful job of it (see full description and sample pages). Vol.2 about the Secondary Services should follow in a year or so's time.
