"Bashing trains in the North West, and beyond!"

I am David Hennessey, aka The Amateur Basher, a motley rail enthusiast from the North West of England (St Helens in Merseyside to be precise, and not far from Liverpool).

I follow all kinds of locomotive going, whether it be steam, diesel and electric. My favourite locos include 40145, 55022 Royal Scots Grey, 6233 Duchess of Sutherland, 6201 Princess Elizabeth and 4472 Flying Scotsman, plus many more!

I also dabble in the narrow gauge and model railway fields from time to time.
Name: David
Age: 25
I have been into trains since early childhood, and have been videoing and photographing them since I was 16 or so.

My material is a mix of current and archive; taken from 2002 onwards. Comments are appreciated and welcome here, or at: david_hennessey@hotmail.com

DISCLAIMER: NO HOSTILLITY INTENDED, BUT I WILL NOT TOLORATE THE FOLLOWING:

1) SPAM

2) CHAIN MESSAGING

3) ABUSIVE/OBSCENE COMMENTS (EXAMPLES BEING 'YOU A TRAINSPOTTER? OR 'GET A LIFE' ETC.)

ANY OF THOSE THINGS WILL BE DELETED, AND THEIR SENDERS WILL BE BLOCKED

Thank you for your visit. See you soon!
