I'm spending more and more time recording videos in Carlisle and on the lines radiating from there. Diesel, Electric or Steam - if it looks good I'll record it! I do get out and about from Carlisle to other places on the national network and to heritage lines. I'm also a keen railway modeller. I'm currently modelling Canadian and US railroads freelance in 1:160 n scale: a new version of my Canuck Union lines. You'll find videos of some of the smaller model railway exhibitions I've attended and occasionally of my own layout. My railway history interests are mostly the railways of Cumbria (UK) for which I've written 4 books.
