| Now retired from BT (Post Office Telephones) after what seems like a lifetime! 44 years. Lived around Frome-Somerset now for over 33yrs.Have had an interest in railways all my life,my father was a GWR Freight Guard.Could be seen hanging around Westbury steam sheds in the late 50's,still hanging around railways somewhere even today....Have amassed many 1000's of transparancies and lately digital images of railway based subjects.Hope to eventually show many of my better pictures here...new scans etc to be added regularly............

The local 'RHTT' ambles down through Frome on the Avoider with '3S13' heading back to St-Blazey for servicing.The grubby pairing 66116/66148 on the job today.Just scraped the shot before the light folded for the rest of the day! ..02 november 2009.. | Latest Images(All types) -----Mainly digital but still a few slides.(Will be moved to respective galleries after about a Month) | (54) |

'3S13' Westbury to St-Blazey via Salisbury shown at Upton-Scudamore nr Warminster 'jetting' off the leaf-residue on the line.Loco's are 66116 and 66148,both now completely filthy from a mixture of ballest dirt and chemicals..02 november 2009.. | Latest Images(All types) -----Mainly digital but still a few slides.(Will be moved to respective galleries after about a Month) | (37) |

The Patch-Work Mainline Tug 60011 today was in charge of the early running '6B13' from Robeston to Westerleigh.Here she is at Charfield Loops in the northern outskirts of Bristol.Good job it was early,5 mins later was lights-out for rest of the day! ..05 november 2009.. | Latest Images(All types) -----Mainly digital but still a few slides.(Will be moved to respective galleries after about a Month) | (34) |

43022 speeds down the Frome avoider with the 08:18 from Paddington to Exeter.Regretfully the heavy rain and wind over the last few nights has done an excellent job of clearing the autumn colours off the trees! ..02 october 2009.. | Latest Images(All types) -----Mainly digital but still a few slides.(Will be moved to respective galleries after about a Month) | (31) |

The Hither-Green to Whatley' empties '6V18' rolls into Westbury after completing it's journey down the B&H.59002 'Alan J Day' was todays chosen traction.Behind the train is the overbridge for traffic to the local trading-estates.From next week this will be closed to all vehicles except light-vans and cars due to it becoming weakened from extensive corrosion and total lack of maintenence (see how rusty and decayed it looks).Railtrack may spend multi-millions on probably non-essential masts and crap but fails to look after its existing assets.What a bunch?..04 november 2009.. | Latest Images(All types) -----Mainly digital but still a few slides.(Will be moved to respective galleries after about a Month) | (29) |

Welcome to my Fotopic Site....Eventually will cover not only modern scene from around 1990 to date but also some quite old stuff from my youth in the 1960's.These will be mainly B&W but a few early slides,some a bit suspect due to age(Up to 45 yrs old) but historically
quite interesting..Photographic equipment used varied from Brownie 127 and Halina 35x in the 60's through 35mm Spotmatic Pentax's up to mid 90's then Olympus OM series camera's until finally went modern with a couple of EOS Canons...Digital started in October-2003 with Minolta-Dimage 7i,...then another Minolta,an A200....Moved on to a Canon EOS 350D then a 400D and now a 40D, (With the 400D as a back-up)........... @Sept 2009
Lenses used are ....50mm mk1 f1.8,...28-105 USM Mk-2 (My Favourite. 'L' Quality without the cost! Guess I just got lucky with this one!),... 28-135 IS-USM Zoom,... and an "L series" F4.0 70-200 USM Zoom,all Canon system-lenses.
Keep checking back as I will be updating regularly with both fresh stuff and older slides as well ------------ (Site now contains over 2550 pictures to date---October- 2009---) --So don't be shy,have a dig around ! Thanks for looking ....Tom C.....(TC on Tour)
