I have had an interest in railways since I was a small child and used to watch the trains which I could see from my grand-mother's garden. I had my first train set when I was 8 years old. It was a Hornby Dublo set of Sir Nigel Gresley with two teak coaches. This set is still with it's original box and remains in the family with a nephew in America.

My interest centres around the area and workings of the former London & South Western Railway and in particular the area around Wimborne in Dorset. I made a full size 'OO' gauge model of Wimborne station and although I got all the track laid, I never really got started on the scenery. I did previously make a portable layout of Verwood station complete with buildings and scenery.

In order to share my aspect of interest, I am in the process of compiling a photographic archive using only photographs taken by myself. The beginnings of the archive can be reached from the headings below. There are many more pictures to be added in due course.
