'MAY' has recently been overhauled to a superb condition at the East Lancs Railway in Bury (8 hits) Industrial Railways Past and Present Welcome I had been asked recently what sort of cameras I used for the photos on this site which was a simple prgression from the usual Box Brownie in 1962 to a 35mm Halina, 35mm Ilford Sportsman and finally a Russian Zenith B by 1967 until 1973 then onto a Nikon until 1989 and large format cameras. The camera used today and from July 2007 and the digital age has been a Canon 5D About Me Living so near to Rosegrove locoshed and from 1959 passing the station every weekday going to school and waiting for the 'namer' to appear on the Colne - Manchester stopper led to what some would call an obsession in railways and the first camera. That was the inevitable Brownie 127 and then countless cameras since. Links Neil Harvey's Steam Photos Leave a Message Click here to get in touch!
