I have been interested in railways since the summer of 1964, when fishing trips to the River Anker at Polesworth with the old man, but without a rod, and where the WCML crosses the river, led me to take an interest in the passing trains. These consisted of steam, Dutchess and Britannia pacifics, Black 5's Jubilees and 2-6-4T's on the early morn mail. Diesels were Tats, later class 40's, and class 24's, and early electrics. However Photography didn't start until 1978, and not seriously until 1984 ( capturing class 40's, and 25's and Duffs on the S & C). I have always managed with second hand equiptment, old Pentax camera's and lens'. This changed in Jan 2003 when I bought a Nikon F80 and prime lens' and again more recently in July 2005 with a change to Digital, purchasing a Canon 20D, standard 1.4 and 28-135mm Zoom which is 3.5-5.6. Kit later upgraded to Canon 40D and L series Lens. Now that there is not so much to phot, I am retired and have up to date kit, c'est la ve!!! Would you believe I also manage the odd days fishin!!. I must acknowledge the great benefit derived from the GEN posted by the many selfless souls which make ours such a pleasurable pastime, my trusty Blackberry, and the unstinting patience of those who went digital before me and who have provided tremendous support. Good on ye lads.
