Welcome to my Website. A Replacement for the one lost when Fotopic.Net failed in March-2011.
Formally Site was known as 'TC-on-Tour/TomCurtisRailGallery'.
Now just 'TomCurtisRailGallery'.
Dedicated to all things Railway from the Early Sixties right through to the Present Day(Additions added Regularly).
Updating with Current Material plus Additions from the Vault--Steam & Diesel going back to 1963 when I just 15.
Photographs mostly in the Sun but the odd Worthy-Working shown no matter what the Lighting or Weather conditions!
Now Retired and still hanging around on Bridges.See 'About Me' section for a short potted history of my railway interests and life.
I live in Frome-Somerset so a high proportion of my material will be within a 20 mile radius of there or Westbury-Wilts.
Any Comments or Information requests just use the 'Contact Me/Site Help' tab and I will be pleased to help. Tom C

The very busy DCR-60 60029 was in charge of '6M51' today.Here passing Clink with it's train of GBRF-Boxes going to Quainton Rail Head from Merehead (Left at 09:45.---22 april 2026----
A tidy looking 'Ex-Hanson in the Sun' 59102 with '6C31' the 10:14 from Theake to Whatley empties is near Clink Road Junction .Note how green the bushes are here!----20 april 2026----
The returning '1Z41' Railtour from Cranmore to Hastings (16:02 from Cranmore) is viewed shortly after it has passed Merehead Quarry Junction heading for the mainline at East Somerset Juncton. Driver Trailer S60119 (1013) was leading.-----11 april 2026------
60099 'Ben More Assyny' makes a fine sight at Master's Crossing near Fairwood Junction on '6M51' the 09:45 from Merehead Quarry going to Quainton Rail Head with a load of stone today being carrying in a set of MRL boxes-----19 march 2026----
The immortal 'Duke of Gloucester' 71000 recorded during its time spent languishing in a scrapyard,thought at the time to be beyond repair due to the unique cylinders being removed and scrapped or sectioned for display in the NRM.This early picture shows engine apart from missing steam chests fairly complete including the original steam pusher tender that was lost due to it being sold to a local Steel-works for use as an ingot carrier (Minus the scrapped top-half).Today all that was lost or scrapped has been replaced and the 'Duke' is now probably the finest British Locomotive in the country-----------I think so anyway. -----august 1968-----
