    Author: Jon Aston

    I have been interested in all things railways, since being introduced by my uncle when I was about 6 years old. I am interested in steam, heritage diesel, model railways and narrow gauge. I am a member of both the Severn Valley Railway and Telford Steam Railway. I am the Charities Officers of the Western Locomotive Association and a committee member and active volunteer of The Friends of Wellington (Shropshire) Station.
