Welcome to my LineSider website.
My name is John Bowler, I live in the West Midlands and have loved steam locomotives all my life since the early 1950's.
I am a member and lineside permit holder of the Severn Valley Railway and a lineside permit holder at the West Somerset Railway.
This site features black & white images of British steam locomotives at work on mainline railtours, preserved lines or on static display taken at various locations around the UK.
Many thanks to Ray Reed, prolific railway photographer in the days of steam around the Midlands area for allowing me to use his magnificent study of LMS46240 as my logo.
My inspiration for B&W steam photography comes by way of Master Steam Photographer Dick Blenkinsop whose books I treasure, full of wonderful black and white photographs from the Golden Age of Steam.
Current equipment : Pentax K20D + Tamron 18-200 / Pentax K10D + Tamron 18-55 / Hitachi HD Camcorder.
In the 'links' section please check out the RailPictures Website and also my UK Mainline Steam Website that contains my colour photographs of steam and also the free downloadable online jigsaw puzzles produced from some of my colour photographs. |
