John Adams joined the Railway Photographic Society in the mid-1930s.

In 1951, whilst working with the Tal-y-llyn Railway Preservation Society he first met Patrick Whitehouse (founder of the Millbrook House publishing company). They began a prolific partnership and over the years produced a series of books and magazines, as well as fifty instalments of the 'Railway Roundabout' television series for the BBC.
