My interest in model rail systems ensured a significant interest in full size rail, in particular German Railways due to my appreciation of the German Marklin Model Railway Systems. So far the only full size rail systems I have spent considerable time studying are those of the Isle of Man, surprisingly varied and of course the opportunity to study their railway systems is due to my many visits to the Island for the annual Tourist Trophy Motorcycle Races.

DIDCOT RAILWAY CENTRE, UK:

The Didcot Railway Centre is located in the English town of Didcot, it is nestled directly alongside the busy Didcot modern railway station. The Didcot Railway Centre houses a massive array of GWR Rail stock and the site is dominated by an equally massive Engine Shed.

NATIONAL RAIL MUSEUM, YORK, UK:

A trip to the National Railway Museum in York certainly kindled an interest and due admiration to some of the Pioneers of Steam Railways emanating from Britain.

The 'clickable' image depicts the front of a Tank Loco exhibited outside the entry to the Museum.

GERMAN RAILWAYS:

Probably the most impressive Steam Engines ever built, the look of the huge Black Locomotives with the red trim, very impressive.

The 'clickable' image depicts part of the 2-10-0 wheel arrangement of a DR 52 Class of 1960.

ISLE OF MAN RAILWAYS:

There are so many types of Railways on the Island powered by Steam, Electric and Horse Drawn Trams, all so impressively maintained.

The 'clickable' image depicts a 2-4-0 Tank Loco at Douglas Railway Station.

I LOVE NEW TECHNOLOGY, TABLETS, LAPTOPS, DIGITAL CAMERAS, MOBILE PHONES/WIRELESS BROADBAND, GPS ETC.  ALL SO COOL AND 'PORTABLE'......
