The aim of these pages is to show pictures and,
video clips from the preserved, and other railways I have visited. Also included is a
brief history of the railway at Perth.
I have not filled the pages full of technical facts and figures or full
histories of engines or anything else. But what I have tried to do is include links to
follow where this information can be found.
The brief site description is the left of the two column and clicking on the graphic will take you to the various preserved, and other railway video clips and still photo's.
The links at the bottom
of the pages are to some railway web rings. |
