About Me:
 
I've had a long passion for railways since my childhood, begining when steam returned to the mainline in the South West in 1994 after 9 years of exile, steam became a inspiration and tremendous sight to watch during them years to the present day. I'm also a keen explorer, admiring scenic country landscapes, coastlines and places that have an old nostalgic feeling.

I film mainly steam trains running on the mainline network primarily on the former GWR system, but will go to any part of Britain to catch the full glory of steam at its best running on the mainline, in some of the most scenic parts of the country. One of my main objectives is to capture steam and diesel traction over the Great Western Main Line which is to be electrified in years to come.

The way I'l capture steam is in the most artistic, innovative and profesional ways possible rather than how others do it.
On the odd occasion I'l film on a preserved railway depending where.

Do you realise that by running your Ltd Edition Hornby locos even on a rolling road you've decreased there value because ardent collectors use a magnifying glass to check the wheel treads for any marks due to running. Besides that your videos are always a joy to watch.
