Away from work, I pursue my lifelong love of narrow gauge railways. One of my earliest memories is being both scared and fascinated by the railway at Whipsnade Zoo. Since then I have avidly pursued my interest in travelling on, working on and investigating the history of narrow gauge railways.

In December 2014, I purchased a 2ft gauge Moes diesel locomotive. It was initially delivered to the Old Kiln Light Railway in January 2015. I started cosmetic restoration myself, but it was soon clear that more significant work was needed, so it went to Statfold Barn for a thorough restoration. I finally got to drive the Moes on a visit to the OKLR in July 2017.

In the early 2010s I started writing articles and books about narrow gauge railways. Learning the art of research, writing and illustration has been a rich an fulfilling experience, and is a journey I continue to take. As well as my own work, listed below, I have contributed photographs to other books and articles.
