Have to agree - I got all excited at the thought of seeing some more Retford pics.

Actually, looking through your other blog posts, all you're really doing is linking to entries on an external blog. Not really in the spirit of the RMWeb blog area, is it?

Roy usually asks that any photographs that are taken are for purely personal use and are not to be published (in print or on the internet) without his approval. That way, when he considers that it is a good time for a published update (which is usually when he is asked to do one by an editor), he has some control over what is seen and how his layout is portrayed to the public.

 

Apart from wanting to retain some editorial control over how his layout appears to others there have also been, in the past, some unfortunate incidents involving publication of photos which could have compromised the security of the property, as they clearly showed access points into the property.

 

I don't think that there is any one of us who would like photos of their security arrangements posting on the internet and for those two reasons, Roy asks that photos are not posted without his specific permission.

 

The superb photos that Andy York took of the layout for MI and BRM give a very good idea of what it looks like now and very little of note has happened since they were taken. Babworth Bridge has moved on and the gardens on West Carr Road have progressed plus there are a few more working signals but nothing spectacular! 

 

So you ain't missing much by the lack of photos with the blog!
