Welcome

Between 1974 & 1981 I worked at the BREL Loco Works in Doncaster. (The famous "Plant" Works).
Through this I became hooked on railways & the mighty "Deltics" in particular.
I was fortunate tomake several visits to London's Finsbury Park Depot - a couple of miles to the north of Kings Cross station, between January 1980 & December 1981, and share some of those pictures with you.
Since the late 1990's I have also had an interest in aircraft & share some of those pictures with you also.

Site last updated 14th October2008 with addition of Gallery on DP1 DELTIC at the Nat. Railway Museum, York, in 2003
