Published Photos


I have been taking photographs of the railway scene since I became an enthusiast, around 1982.  

Most of my earliest photographs have unfortunately not stood the test of time, although I do have a lot of the old negatives, and with the aid of a negative scanner, I am slowly working my way through them in the hope of digitising what’s left of the older stuff.

For most of the time that I’ve been participating in this hobby, I’ve taken photographs for my own pleasure and interest, but I am now also, with the advent of easy digital transfers, submitting some of my efforts to railway magazines.

I have had a few photos published, and the details are listed below with the most recent being listed at the top of the table. I now  also list photos which have been accepted for publication, but for whatever reason, don’t actually make it to the magazine. For Railway Herald magazines up to issue 300, these were available as a free download in Adobe Acrobat PDF format and links to issues in which my photos were published are available in the table below. After issue 300, Railway Herald became a subscription only magazine and linking to the magazine would be a breach of copyright, so a link to the applicable photo has been placed in the table instead.

Photos will open in my personal Railway Herald photo album. This is an album of ALL the photos I submit to this magazine. Obviously some aren’t even considered as comparison of the album and the table below will show!!
