A few changes

Regular visitors may recall that in the past I've kept about 12 months worth of recordings on three pages on the site. However, checking my statistics, I've discovered that very few visitors ventured beyond the first page so now you'll find just one page of recent recordings.
In place of the other two pages I've added a new page on which you'll find some of the favourite recordings I've made over the years.
At the moment there are only a dozen or so recordings on the favourites page but this is a work in progress and I'll be adding to it from time to time.
If there's anything that you feel deserves a place on that page, let me know.

Riding behind steam CDsNew disks now available

As there hasn't been much happening on the main or preserved lines around here since before Christmas I've had the chance to put together some new CDs in the Riding behind steam series.
As you can see, two of the disks concern LNER Pacifics; A4s and everyone's favourite, Flying Scotsman, and the third, Bulleid Pacifics.
More details here.
There should be a few more in the series before I'm finished.
I'm planning some other CDs and and mp3 disks later in the year (assuming I can find the time!) so, watch this space.
