Dawlish Trains – Digital Photographic Library by Colin J. Marsden
WELCOME to the Digital Photographic Library website Dawlish Trains, operated by Colin J. Marsden. This rapidly growing site houses many of the rail and transport images I have taken over the past 40 years, with many pre-2000 pictures now scanned into digital format. While based in Dawlish, Devon (as reflected in the title of this site). The photographic library galleries contain images from throughout the world, showing a diverse selection of train and locomotive classes and other rail related views. Apart from the UK scene, which I have followed throughout my life, a number of image selections are from the US and Canada, locations I enjoy visiting and try and capture on an annual basis.
While concentrating largely on UK material, which is needed for ongoing book and magazine contracts, especially Modern Locomotives Illustrated magazine, I also continue to cover many railway news and media events, gathering a huge resource of material for future projects.
All images contained on this new website are available to editors and picture researchers for use in magazines, books or by design studios. Please use the contact form to discuss material required. All images can be supplied in digital form at 300dpi, fully colour corrected and at any size to suit your requirements.
This new photographic library site has been developed following the demise of Fotopic. The site is still under development, and many images will be loaded over the next few weeks. Since the launch of Fotopic, much has improved in the way websites can be constructed and displayed and these new developments are now incorporated in Dawlish Trains.
A couple of viewers have made the comment that captions are needed to all the illustrations, a large number have already been added, all will receive caption information as time progresses.
Latest Update: 23 May 2012 Various images added.
Caption to Above Image: The First Great Western Queens Diamond Jubilee branded Class 43 HST power car No. 43186 continues to operate over all main line routes of the FGW system. On 22 May 2012, No. 43186 led what was scheduled to be the 07.30 Paddington to Penzance, but due to signal issues in the Bristol area, the train started from Bristol Temple Meads and was routed by way of Westbury, seeing the first class end of the train with the branded power car at the west end of the train. Looking very smart in the summer sun at Dawlish Warren, the 07.30 Paddington-Penzance heads west some 40 minutes late.CJM
