The Bluebell Railway Gallery has been updated by the the addition of a bunch of pictures from 2003 and 2004. 

Taken mainly on Russ Hillier and Geoff Silcock photo charters, they're from a period when I was beginning to experiment with doing things differently.

Manning Wardle & Co 0-6-0ST no.4 'Sharpthorn' was completed on 26 February 1877, making it the Bluebell Railway's third oldest locomotive, and the oldest surviving Manning Wardle locomotive.

Scanning of my old 35mm slides continues - this time a bunch of pictures taken at the Bluebell Railway's Spring Gala in 1983.

At the time, I lived in Horsted Keynes. A totally delightful place to live, and with the added advantage of the Bluebell Railway in walking distance.
