My non-train-enthusiast friends all ask, “So, when you weren’t chasing steam trains, what else did you do in the UK?”

Um, well, we hung out in railway stations and took pictures……

We did do a small amount of sightseeing in London (more later). But the truthful answer is, the combination of architecture, people watching, and spiffy industrial and graphic design all come together in a British railway station. So as galleries go, it was time well spent, and every bit as good a tasting of the charms of the UK as any more mainstream venue.

Many well-known photographers whose presentations and workshops I have followed have said, others may not like your images – but if you like them, then they are your best.

There were thousands of photographers at the steam galas, and already I have seen lots of better shots than these on the internet.

Looking though the images I collected in our two-week tour of British steam railways, some are good and some are not. The images here may not earn technical points, but they were made along with feelings and memories – so they are the images that you don’t ever delete.
