Railway-related videos taken by me, David Broster and my father, featuring the vastly-different railways of England and Germany, and hoping to spread further afield into the rest of Europe sometime soon!
Name: David
Age: 19
I was born in Rosenheim, Bayern, SE. Germany in 1990, we moved back over here to Leeds, England in 1998.

To me, German Railways (DB) are far and away my favourite, although Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB [Österreichische Bundesbahn]) and Dutch State Railways (NS [Nederlandse Spoorwegen]) are also pretty good, just more organised. They do, however, feature less variety through the lack of subcontracted private-operators, although I prefer this approach to running a railway!

Recent outings:

- West Mids Day Ranger (vids uploaded),
- several West Yorkshire 'bashes' (vids uploaded),
- London-bash (vids uploaded).

IMPORTANT NOTE(S):
===============
- Returned from a week in Germany/Holland, check-out all the latest videos from these wonderful countries!!
