Resources Menu Index Fotopic sites Other websites Publications Downloads	Fotopic websites Fotopic has made it easy for people to get their collections of photographs onto the internet and there are hundreds of sites devoted to UK railways. The quality varies enormously, a key factor being how the owner has catalogued and grouped their images. Some are very neat and orderly, while on others, finding a particular photograph can be a real challenge. The list below includes what I think are the best sites with content relating to modern UK freight rolling stock. If you encounter any dead links, or have suggestions for other sites to include, please use the feedback button at the bottom of the page. British Rail wagon photographs by Paul Bartlett This site covers a vast array of wagon types with pictures taken over the past 30-odd years. New collections are added regularly and the subject matter ranges from the mundane to the unique. Most photos are taken in yards or sidings and, although reproduced a little small, are nearly always clear and sharp. Paul also goes to a lot of trouble to label each picture with the date, location and wagon details. UK Railway Rolling Stock Martyn Read's websites show the fruits of much travelling around the network over the past few years. The photographs are helpfully arranged into collections based on the TOPS coding and most of the pictures are large and clear, despite many being taken of moving trains. What may be lacking in variety (types withdrawn more than a few years ago are not generally featured) is more than compensated for by quantity. 158 pictures of MTA ballast wagons may not be to everybody's taste but they will no doubt be useful to modellers as well as those looking into the minutiae of design codes and variations. pretty poor pictures of engineers wagons and a few revenue wagons Don't be put off by the title; this is a fairly extensive collection of wagon pictures (not just engineers) from the late 1980s to the present. Collections are organised by TOPS code. mike cubberley's Photographs Another well-organised collection with lots of wagon pictures. Filenames give the wagon number and TOPS code plus the location and date. Ginge's Train Piccies Yet more wagon pictures, once again catalogued usefully by TOPS code. There are also other collections for locos and multiple units. Railway Photographs by Brian Daniels This site has a gallery titled Rolling Stock, listed underneath lots of collections for locos. Within are 842 photos including coaches and wagons. The images are rather annoyingly sorted by type, so coils follow coaches, etc. However, the site does score for having some good pictures of unusual and older vehicles. Railway Photographs by Richard Jones This site includes collections for most classes of locomotive and multiple unit plus, if you scroll right down to the bottom, some well organised wagon galleries. Ed Greenwood`s Railway Gallery Not hugely extensive, the wagon pics here are however well organised and go back to the mid 1990s. Tavy Wagons This site is a bit different as all the pictures were taken either at or near Tavistock Junction, Plymouth. Despite this, there is a wide variety of wagon types illustrated, the collections are ordered by TOPS code and the site is regularly updated. Davids Detail Photos Another slightly different but highly useful site, particularly for modellers. As the name implies, the subject matter is detail photographs, and for each of about 15 wagons featured there are between 5 and 23 photographs of various sections and parts. I wish I had seen this before I built my Trainz PGA/HGA!
