Class 66 Gallery
Welcome to my Class 66 Gallery. I now have 278 out of 441 class 66's photographed on this site. My aim is to publish quality photos for each loco. Last update was 17th April 2009. Thanks to everyone that has visited this site so far - your comments and suggestions are welcome! I hope you enjoy these photos...

Welcome
Welcome to my class 66 gallery!
I will be publishing photos of every single locomotive here eventually. The gallery should be updated at least once or twice per month. I'll keep new collections from a single trip together for a few weeks then split them up into collections by sub-class (EWS, GBRf, etc). I'll eventually keep a separate collection for each individual loco.
I'd like to delete some of the poorer photos on this site and replace them, once I get better shots of each loco.
Once locos have their own collection, they can be easily found by adding /66xxx to the end of the website address - this will take you straight to that collection of photos (eg. class66.photonation.co.uk/66714 for photos of 66714).
If there are any comments or suggestions for improvement just leave me a message. Other than that, enjoy the photos!

JONS TRAINS WEBSITE
I'd like to give a special thanks to Jon Batley for his informative and useful comments (see 'comments' below) and emails - I have made a big improvement in my photographic capabilities since the end of Dec 06, largely due to following his advice. I would highly recommend his website to anyone looking for proffesional quality railway photos, including some model railway shots too - the link is on the right of this page.
I wish him well with his website, and photography, for the future!
