I don't know how long this part of his website has been up, but I have never stumbled across it before.
A recollection and photographic record of working on (mostly) the Barnstaple line, with the timeframe stretching from just post the hydraulic era with Class 25s etc through to the ruination of the line in the mid 1980s.
A really interesting collection, amongst much else it includes some very useful (for modelling) detailed shots of freight stock in Barnstaple yard.

I do find myself very much in sympathy with his "view of the world" and find this particular collection especially interesting as this was one of the relatively few lines that I managed to visit and even photograph back in the 1970s.
