Nothenorm Photographs
Unsung Heroes - On Track Plant, Departmentals and Road-Railers (Still being updated in 2009)

This collection is updated as and when something different can be added. It was originally intended that only vehicles in service would be illustrated, but the collection has now expanded to include items at "preservation" sites. Some of the images are duplicated in other galleries.

Images of Aylesbury's departmental DMU's when not in use can be found at http://www.nothenorm.fotopic.net/c273175.html

For further information on OTP, visit

For further information on departmental stock, visit

Both of the above sites have been an invaluable source of information to me and a big thanks must go to their webmasters and contributors.
