ROY'S RAILWAY WORLD
Welcome
Hello Everybody,
My name is Royston Morris I have been a keen rail enthusiast since August 1975(whilst on a family holiday to Dawlish, wow!! what a time and place to start becoming interested in trains).

However with that said I hope that you will find many interesting railway related items in this gallery, apart from the usual stuff(Loco's & Units both past & present), I hope to include various other items of rolling stock, including Plant, Road/Rail, Coaching Stock, Wagons, Narrow Gauge etc.
I will be adding further images from my vast collection of photographs & slides,which have all been taken by myself since 1977 onwards. These will be added to the already existing collections on a weekly basis, so feel free to visit the collections regularly & see what may have been added since your last visit.

I'm a member and the Trip Bookings Co-Ordinator for the Cardiff & Avonside Railway Society, I'm also a member of the Industrial Railway Society.
For further information about these Societies click onto the links shown on the right hand side.

Royston Morris -- 9th May 2008.
Location === Wellington, Somerset.

P.S. Whilst your here why not visit my other Gallery(just click on the link), this contains my Non-Railway photographs, of which there is a varied variety of Transport of different types.

P.P.S. Some of the dates that appear on the photos, do not match the ones in the description. This is mainly due to 'Gremlins' in the camera,where this discrepancy arises the date in the text is the date the photo was taken. Wherever possible & time permitting I will be removing the errant dates from the shots.
