Classic UK Traction by Dean Cornthwaite

Welcome

Welcome to my photographic site. I aim to publish a number of railway photographs taken over the last 20 years. The majority will be from the early 90's onwards as this was when I started using medium format and getting my act together. The format of the site will be specific routes or Counties as my collection does span most of Britain. Thanks go to Bob Lumley for his advice and technical support. So take a trip around the UK, Hope you enjoy.
