Welcome
My name is Stephen Carpenter and the purpose of this site is to display some of my railway images that I have taken since returning to the lineside in 2007 after a gap of 12 years. Most of my images were taken in Wiltshire (centred on Chippenham, my home town) and the surrounding counties although I have been known to take in trips further afield. My main interest is in the modern scene although I may venture out if a steam working is in the locale. My preference is for a sunny 'on the nose' shot but it's not the be all and end all for me so if a shot merits inclusion when the light is less than perfect then I will still take it and display it on here as a repeat shot in better light may prove not to be possible. All images on the site are displayed at a relatively low resolution to discourage piracy.
Feel free to have a look around the site and I hope you like the pictures. At the moment not all pictures on the site are captioned with headcodes, loco id etc but these will be added when time allows.

If you should see me out and about (usually on a bridge or in a field as I'm not keen on stations!) then do please say hello.
