A deeper look into the charms and challenges within the contemporary railway hobby. Ideally aimed at railway groups wanting to become more inclusive of younger and a more diverse range of people.

Can include a demonstration of railway simulation video games (in-person talks only).

Note: I am now based in Kent, but can still accommodate talks in the South West (Somerset, Devon, Dorset) if arranged in good time. In some cases (not all), I may seek to charge slightly more to account for accommodation costs. Please ask me about this upon enquiry.

About Joseph Rogers

Joseph Rogers is the author of 'Tithe Barns' and 'Railway Enthusiasm in Twenty-first-century Britain' and conducts talks primarily on the subject of Tithe Barns, but also railways and the railway hobby.

His research on 'Tithe Barns' saw him travel to 100+ historic barns across the UK, from East Lothian to Cornwall, Gwynedd to Kent and everywhere in between. He was inspired to learn more about the subject by the many examples found in Somerset.

His railway experience comes from over a decade working within the railway hobby, including for the West Somerset Railway and in the modelling and video games spaces.

Note: I am now based in Kent, but can still accommodate talks in the South West (Somerset, Devon, Dorset) if arranged in good time.
