Renderosity has opened a whole new world to me, its a fantastic place and have had some brilliant support from many new friends.  I retired from work very early through ill health so I took to photography from the very basics.
 Since joining I have grown in confidence with my photography and I now think because of RR that I take it a little more seriously. I started off here using a Fuji Finepix 6500fd, it took some great pictures but I'm hooked now so I have now(April 2008) bought a DSLR SAMSUNG DX10 and having fun learning the settings etc. ( these things take me a while lol)Â
I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful person in my life, Sylvia. She is not just my partner but of course she's also my best friend. Previously I have been married but seperated a few years ago and have two fantastic children. I NOW have two fantastic grandchildren !!!
My interests are photography, i have had a dabble at Acrylic painting, and I enjoy long walks out in the countryside.      I also have an interest in anything historical.  I want to have a sample of just about everything there is in photography, who knows what the future holds!
Thanks for calling by.    Alan

I missed this shot Alan, taken from the end of platform 1, I do notice however, this is the Dambuster Raider, they must have been getting it ready to roll, as you can see there is no nameplate on the front of it and only one lamp. I thought that name plate looked new. Lol. I had a great day but I'm paying for it now, my legs are four inches shorter and I ache like hell. I'm up for another visit tomorrow though(I don't think so!). Superb composition and excellent postwork, it really does look circa 1940's. Stunning! Bravo!!!!!

Great shot, but that is an unusual-looking engine to be 100% British in design.

This engine was from the USA,it had a metal plate on the side with inscription reading - LIMA Locomotive works incorporated, LIMA, OHIO-USA June 1945.
