20th Aug 2003Tales of the Unexpected!
Just occasionally the railway throws up a surprise - and here are a few of them
6th Jul 2003Stormy weather
Weather to give you earache, camera corrosion and to occasionally stop the job.
Because of the configuration of the wall it only really needs a stiff breeze from the right direction to get dramatic. Also, the well thought out wall footing reinforcements have recently exacerbated the problem with wave break.
19th Aug 2003Scheduled Passenger
This collection runs from 1988 to the present day. During this time scheduled loco hauled passenger services along the wall have featured anything from 31s to 50s, along with the ever present 47s.
19th Aug 2003Railtours
A variety of tours and traction over the years
19th Aug 2003Postals
Gone but not forgotten, will they ever return to the south-West?
21st Feb 2004Kettles
'Is there a steam train coming?' the perennial question, and this time there was....
27th Mar 2004Goyles on the wall
I always was fond of these; like me I suppose, overweight and underpowered. Quite made the day though, snarling out of Parson's Tunnel...
19th Aug 2003Freight
The predominant freight along the wall over the years has been clay in various forms, but there are other flows from time to time.
20th Aug 2003Engineers
A variety of enginering trains up and down, or occasionally just on the wall.
19th Aug 2003Drags
It could be amazing what could be sent to the rescue.... but sadly not anymore!

Welcome
I have sadly come to the conclusion that this gallery, and my other main one 'Off The Wall' have become less of a contemporary look at the railway in this area, and more of a fond look at what was. I don't have any enthusiasm for photographing Voyagers, units or even trams to any great extent, and GMs bore me..

I will carry on adding fresh images from time to time, and I hope that you enjoy what you find here. Please feel free to message me.

I thought it was about time to reset the counters again. Don't keep clicking on the most popular image; that is lazy and invariably it is not the best one on here. take some time to have a look around. Cheers, Paul
