Welcome
Hi Welcome to my Gallery. My pics range from old to new . I started watchin trains in the 90s seein BR come to todays privatisation. I like Steam, Diesel and AC electric locos.

I like meeting other photographers and enthusiasts and having a good conversation so if you wanna say hi don't hold back lol.

So please take a few minutes to look round my photos. You can also feel free to leave any comments or messages on here. So thanks for visiting and taking time to look at my gallery.

Thanks

P.S Thanks go to my friend Adam Hamilton aka 'HenryBlue' for creating this logo for me as i don't have the software.
About Me
Hey I'm Matthew Edwards but everyone knows me as Half Pint. I'm 20 and been follwing trains since i was very young.

I'm from the North East and my local line is the Durham coast but to be a bit pedantic i'm at Brockley Whins which is where Boldon West Junction is. I'm a very keen railway enthusiast i'm not only interested in the UK rails but also rails from around the world.

I have a keen interest in the railways of the North East and i like to walk along disused Railways and i love to research about them.

Since 7/8/08 i've been using my new Sony A350 camera. everything before then was from a Samsung Digimax S500.

    37003 first start up after Winter and what a start indeed.  Weardale Railway  (767)
    43108 adorning the NXEC livery as a valenta power car. no doubt soon it'll become 43308. Ready to go across Tyne Valley for Newcastle  Carlisle 2008  (395)
    Inside the the guards area of 117702 which was lovely and big  Weardale Railway  (379)
    The only 37/4 in pres. 37414 waitin restoration. Me and my friend Mark Grimes once scrapped paint work off of this loco. Funny story about wot happened but not to be mentioned  Weardale Railway  (360)
    My photography teacher who got me all into this mad realm said its often good to take pics of detailed things. this sticker came off the original tanker from LaFarge cement works in Eastgate  Weardale Railway  (297)
    Finally gettin my first shot of Grand Central HST with 43080 front and 43067 on back come through Brockley Whins  South Tyneside 2008  (285)
    After working at the station fixing the broken fence where vandals had smashed the panels out clean. i thought about taking a pic of the 141 entring.I found the careres of the nusery to be more entertainment than train as they were trying to control kids. One Kid had super hearing when train came and shouted "EVERYBODY THE TRAIN"  Weardale Railway  (276)
    55022 'Royal Scots Grey' and 55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier' enter platform 3 on the 0Z55  Newcastle Central 2008  (274)
    Well this is my first pic of 2008. I came out for the 'flying Banana' HST but i thought i'd get the NXEC MTU since its the first time of seein it. So here is 43238  Newcastle Central 2008  (232)
    10 117701 this part of the DMU set lives inside. I wudn't have it inside as the last time i heard it had fleas and the windows were open.  Weardale Railway  (226)
    11 20107 still hanging about outside in cold Weardale weather. this loco will be a good runner when it runs.  Weardale Railway  (219)
    12 This was out of pure interest for the collection. thought i'd get a Mk3 in new NXEC livery. here is Mk3 42193  Newcastle Central 2008  (213)

    16 20107 on road 2 of the Weardale depot  Weardale Railway  (204)
    17 Now catching back power cars is a bit of a trick for me but thankfully the 'flying banana' came more like the 'crawling banana' for speed so i got a good pic of 43089 'Hayabusa'  Newcastle Central 2008  (191)
    18 31602 in charge of the 4Q07 Neville Hill Depot - Heaton CS  North East Rail 2007  (174)
