Welcome
Welcome to my site. My site shows a variety of railway photos mainly around the Midlands but also a few from further afield. There are photos of steam, diesel and electric traction currently in action in the UK.

Why not also check out my railway videos available here http://railways.mjspencer.com/videos

My photos from the 31st October 2008 onwards are taken with a Canon EOS 450D. Prior to that a Fuji S5600 was used.
