James WaiteJames Waite was brought up in Devon within sight and sound of one of the GWR's prettiest branch lines and can't remember a time when he wasn't an ardent enthusiast. He was introduced to the narrow gauge at school which, conveniently, was within sightof the old Lynton & Barnstaple Railway. Its route was then largely intact even though the track had been lifted twenty-five years earlier.

He is a regular contributor to 'Narrow Gauge World', the UK's leading magazine in its field. Read More Read Less
