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. |
