Sharpo’s World Transport Photos

Severn Valley Railway Photo Album Index

Probably best to list these albums in 2 sections. First will be the main events, in date order, containing large numbers of photos, followed by the smaller albums featuring other events. Dates shown are when the photos were taken.
No doubt I have many other photos taken over recent years “waiting to be sorted”, so hopefully they will be added “as and when” - meaning when I have the time & “feel in the mood”!

The link in the left column will take you direct to the thumbnail gallery, the link below will take you a page with brief details of the event, also with a link to the thumbnail gallery

Page still under construction, it’s a long job replacing those old pages!!!! No doubt I’ll make lots of mistakes?
(You can see I’m already changing the format of the column on the left side to make it easier to follow)
