As some of you know, back in the '80's I used to spend a lot of time
photographing railway wagons in the UK. I have decided to do something
useful with all my photos, and have extablished a new web site to display
them.

The URL is http://www.brickset.com/wagons

(It has nothing to do with brickset -- it's just a convenient place to host
the ASP application at no extra cost)

At present there are about 350 images available, and I have another 5000 or
so still to scan.

To be honest, the interface has not yet been geared up for the non-expert
visitor, but I will be attending to that in due course. Nevertheless, LEGO
train modellers may still find something of interest and inspiration there.

I look forward to your comments.

Great resource. Thanks! (if you like eurotrash, that is... :-) )

What do the years in the dropdown refer to? When you took the pic? More
useful (if you are still enough of an anorak to remember) is what year the
stock itself dates from. But that's a lot more work.

I found this one:

Wow is that a wacky looking car! I had no idea. Tough to model but nifty if
doable.
