Autumn in Warwickshire - See the photos of the Warwickshire Countryside in November after a hot summer and mild autumn.

Derek Drives a Steam Train - A 60th Birthday Present from the Family. An unforgettable day on the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire, with the highlight, driving the Southern Region Steam Railway Engine 'Merchant Navy' Class 4-6-2 Number 35030 Elder Dempster Lines. This steam engine is a main line express engine, which pulled the famous high speed passenger trains before the introduction of Diesel Engines.

22nd & 23rd September 2006 and 7th October 2006
Severn Valley Railway and Great Central Railway Steam Festivals - Three wonderful days train spotting. Memories of my youth when I had endless hours of school holidays to laze away by the side of the railway track waiting for the next engine or 'live' piece of machinery to hum and vibrate around the bend towards me.
