Selling transport photos via britishrailwayphotographs.com and ebay. Also direct via catalogue/lists. No more slides, strictly prints now.

Way back in 1988 inspired by Colour-Rail we produced our first list of duplicate 35mm railway slides. Soon after this we also started producing black & white and colour prints from both our slide collection and our negatives. In those earleir times many nights were spent in the darkroom often into the early hours of the morning processing prints for orders. But then many years later "digital" raised it's welcome head. Substitute thermometers, developer, stop and fixer trays with a scanner and it brings us up to date. Utilising our library of around 35,000 images we now sell via lists, open days and of course Ebay. We are always happy to receive enquiries from collectors and publishers alike and have helped out Railway Magazine, Traction, Tranport Video Publishing, Triangle Publishing, Strathwood and many others with their needs. We are also always eager to expand our collection and buy masters with copyright on Ebay as well as direct from enthusiasts. We also lease some collections allowing the owners to make a few pennies whilst still ownin their original slides or negs. For further details of our services, items and lists please fell free to get in touch. Or send me a friend invite via Facebook to keep up to date with our shenanigans.

Todays colour Clayton shot is unfortunately another from the condemned line. This one lasted until Cashmore's got their torches on it in 1975 I believe.

Not the greatest of shots. A little grainy and not as crisp as it could be, but none the less, a statement in time.

One that will need a little tidying, dust spots, a little surface degradation. But I thought, what the hell, it's only Facebook. Who is going to notice??????
