My latest site

Hi all,

Inspired by some of the work I've done on my other sites and by some of the things I've been reading on website design, I've made my first attempt at a tableless website. All the styling is done by CSS and there is no - I believe - presentational code in the HTML. The site can be found at:-

http://www.preserved-railways.net

The website itself is supposed to give the impression of being on an old railway station. Hence the header is styled as a station sign and is placed on a styled wooden roof canopy background. The site itself is on a green background - as these were the colours both that British Railways used in the 50s/60s and Southern Railways used in the Grouping era. The links are styled as railway destination boards and there is a pic of a steam train watermarked into the text area. So what do you think? Have I got even remotely close to the "feel" I was trying to create?

Cheers.
