Roger Norfolk's interest in railways dates from the mid-1950s where the playground talk on a Monday was of the weekend of train spotting by the local main line. He later became a keen photographer, an interest maintained to this day. For many years he contributed to the SVR house magazine and has written articles for other magazines following his role as the driver of Flying Scotsman on the BBC 4 TV documentary, Flying Scotsman From the Footplate.
