Historical Railway Photograph Gallery Index
Listed below are the first selection of the 6000 or so photos I am in the process of scanning. They are in no particular order at present but I am intending to sort them into Branch order and eventually link them to the interactive map for ease of identification. If anyone out there is interested in helping sort these images or even add some information or photos of their own I would be very grateful. Any such contributions will be correctly attributed to it's source. I apologise for the limited resolution of these photographs which at 100 pixels wide are not of much use. However, as you can see the image is relatively clear and coupled with the technical information provide a concise location.
For a better example of the "then & now" settings that I am arranging the photos into please take a look the examples of Tonteg Junction alongside the Taff Valley, South Wales. OS Ref. 309650,186600
Photo Pricing & Payment Methods
All of these photos are for sale in the format of a 300dpi JPG scan only at present. Please note that at this time I do not provide photographic prints of these images. The cost of decent equipment is far too prohibitive & to be honest most decent photo shops & even Tesco now offer a print from CD service far superior to anything I could offer. I can do this on your behalf if required but subsequent costs would have to be passed onto yourself.
I've decided to start at a base price of £3 for a single photo with a sliding scale based on quantity. For any request of quantity I have attempted to figure out a fair price based on market research. As far as the actual deliverable to yourselves, I can offer various stages of service detailed below. All images have been scanned from the original photo at 300dpi so will print well at the same size as the original on most common printers. If you wish to have larger versions of these photos I will have to rescan at a higher resolution that will inevitably cost more. Please enquire if you require this service.

Many of the photos in my
collection fit well into a complete single line or regional study. Many of
these are still to be catalogued but a number are already complete. I will
list specific studies as I define them but if you would like any bespoke
collection please let me know & I'll tailor a deliverable to your
requirements where possible. One example would be to include any photos you
have of a particular location from the past or present in your collection.
Included in these specific studies are included all available past & present images for each location, an interactive list & map for full detail & location reference. Please see attached spreadsheet linked below for full database details & the link to MS Excel viewer of you don't have Excel installed. Preferred method of payment is via PayPal for security & speed of response. Any other forms of payment such as Cheque, Postal Order are of course subject to postal & bank clearance times. |
