Hello!
As you may have guessed, I am new here!
I'm James and I'm from near Beverley in Yorkshire. I've been interested in railways for as long as I can remember - caught the interest off my dad! He has a lot to answer for now! My main railway interests are the recent past (what I see/saw when out spotting), NE region in the fifties and sixties, end of BR steam, as well as Diesels in general - with a bit of narrow gauge thrown in for good measure! I've been building models professionally since I was 16.
I'm a member of variuous societies;
- DEMU
- Scalefour Society
- KWVR
- Model Bus Federation
- 009 Society
- British Trolleybus Society
My other interests are cricket, coaching junior/youth cricket, cars (my Rover 620ti in particular), buses, model buses and, of course, the beautiful and very tolerent Suzi!
Some examples of my of what I get up to -
Much modified Class 40 in P4-
