The New List

I have now migrated all the list members to the new list and all subscribers should have received a welcome email.
Anyone who hasn't received it should try re-subscribing but if that fails then it may be that emails from the list are being intercepted as spam so check your spam folder.

Now available

My annual disk of lineside recordings is now available and you can find details here. I had a hard time choosing this year but I think I've managed to fit the best onto this CD. I will also be updating the mp3 disk with the new recordings.
During the early part of next year I'm planning on adding a few new disks to the Riding behind steam series. One will feature southern locos, another will feature LNER Pacifics although that may have to stretch to two disks as I know how popular my A4 recordings are! I am also considering a couple of disks from my vast collection of recordings made on the Scarborough Spa Express both from the 1980s as as well as more recent years but I'll have a very hard task picking the best.
Watch this space!
