Welcome to Des Brailsford's Home Page
My interests encompass a wide range of railway subjects; classical music; topography; mediaeval history -- not necessarily in that order.

I have a number of items in preparation based on studies, collections and so on over a number of years. I hope to create a comprehensive index to these but the following items should give you some idea of what to expect:

RAILWAYS:
*North Staffordshire Railway (NSR or "Knotty"), including the Potteries Loop Line from Kidsgrove to Etruria via Pitts Hill, Tunstall, Burslem, Cobridge and Hanley
*Welsh Highland Railway (WHR)
*Talyllyn Railway
*Narrow gauge railways in general but including Leek and Manifold Valley (L&MV) and the Welsh 2ft lines
*00 and 009/H0e models

MUSIC:
*Database of my collection
*Study of intervals and scales
*Pipe organ stops and pipes

TOPOGRAPHY:
*Peak District
*North Wales
*Ouse Valley and South Downs in East Sussex
*Islands of Great Britain over a mile long

HISTORY:
*15th Century dynastic intrigue ("Wars of the Roses")
*Comprehensive and complex genealogical chart covering period from Edward III to the Tudors with all the manifestations in between.

Meanwhile, you are invited to visit my photo-collections by clicking "some of my photos" in the left column of this page.
