Trains, planes 'n other stuff
Welcome
Welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay. My main interest has always been railways but it's all plastic and no thrash these days! I've always enjoyed watching planes, so I'm heading more in that direction now. There are also galleries of everyday stuff as well. Before the digital era dawned, I was using a Pentax ME Super but 'got modern' with a Fuji S7000. I have recently moved up to a Nikon D50. Please get in touch if there's anything you'd like to know about the pics. Also, your comments would be very much appreciated.
