The following pages (which are under construction) are intended to give an overview of the railway thematic hobby, as well as providing additional data about existing literature and other sources of information. (I gratefully thank for the help of Norman E. Wright sen.)

The following services are planned:

• A forum for railway thematic notions and definitions. Proposals from me have been included on the first page, and on the "General" page. They are open for discussion. Please tell me your opinion, or criticize my proposals.

• Information about railway thematic, philatelic and technical literature and publications

• To pubblish a stamp list with an existing ACCESS database, including more than 13,000 railway thematic stamps, minisheets (souvenir sheets) and varieties, including those which are not documented on existing web pages. Because of the restricted disk space available, this will be presented in parts. (Note: This intention will be delayed as the Michel catalogue publishers will not currently allow use of their numbers on these pages; I shall attempt to evaluate the specific issue date of every stamp and develop my own discrete numbering system). 

• List containing stamps, which are included in catalogues (e.g. "Collect Railways on Stamps"), which are not railway thematic stamps 
• As no listing of German railway thematic stamps exists on the INTERNET, I shall develop one. 
• Lists covering specific elements of railway thematic collecting (currently these listings are in the German language); these include: 

Railway bridges   Railway ferries and ships owned by railways   Railway stations   Railway routes (including streetcar/tram routes) on maps or city maps.

As expected, the lists are not complete. As with other people, I am not error-free, and I shall greatly appreciate receiving your suggestions, corrections and tips.

Please do not hesitate to send me an e-mail either for or with more information. Each and every comment is welcome.
