The sidings in the background appear to have hundreds more vans?

This link to a Cambridge University image appears to show a lot of banana vans, although perhaps somebody else can confirm that, it dates from 1964 at Garston (Liverpool). Zooming into the ship unloading in the foreground it is connected to bits of infrastructure labelled Fyffes, and the vans have circular spots on them. https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/PH-GEOGRAPHY-AJN-00015/1

Hi Phil, I noticed an advert on Platform 1 the other day saying 'arriving 27th' which is bank holiday Monday, that suggested to me that one of next weeks diagrams that actually stops at 36E may be converted to 80x from Monday, though I may have extrapolated from too little information. I.

well Annie, there is no need to map it, what you need to do is incorporate a Doggerland Railway, it solves all the problems of requiring extra Norfolk you could possibly imagine, see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doggerland one of the maps on there already look like the start of a railway system

this, cropped from the 2nd last shot, is the building with a bellcote much discussed some time back

I've never come across this suppliers name before, google hasn't found anything, could I ask if you have contact details or a web link please thanks, I.

I find the most fun to be had on the g0g forum is to block some of the vocal members, easy to do, all the more contentious threads are then much shorter, and I find its much more fun to imagine what 'jim' said when people reply with phrases like 'as jim said', or 'I disagree with what jim said' *others names are of course applicable here I.

I'd make another recommendation for the seat61.com site, I've use it for planning real trips, copenhagen via hamburg, koln and brussels most recently and for dreaming about alternatives to flying whenever possible, he has a lot of useful hints about through ticketing, and the CIV conditions of carriage relating to missed connections I.

was the local bigwig a company director? I seem to remember the town had some connection with the Black Watch as well

Phil, thank you for your company today. I can report to his followers that the Duck was well behaved most of the time but a good job we had his tracker on as he kept stopping with his beak open to look at yet another exhibit, or exhibitor, many were admired for their cuteness and curves and some of those were locos. Meanwhile I suspect his sizable investment in brass section should build an SOSJ canopy with remarkable physical strength. I.

please look after your head wound! ... and don't show it again before the watershed I.

Hi Phil thanks for today, I cannot remember if you have these further back in the thread but the NLS map site for SJ in 1890's-1910's has this, so a bit earlier than you want, but what is interesting to me is that A) there are 2 turntables behind the goods shed, B) the current void in the air photo of the present buildings is precisely the footprint of the goods shed (run mouse round one and watch the second cursor trace the route on the other), and C) the dotted line to the SE of the shed running parallel to the line 'appears' to correspond to the wall we were discussing earlier webref is here, this should give 1:25inch and satelite comparison if I've got it right http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=19&lat=50.7631&lon=-3.0659&layers=168&right=BingSat

Somebody on here has intervened twice recently on a thread with 'Damn Straight!' which from the context is clearly an appreciative comment, but not one that I've come across and which puzzles me more than somewhat. If anybody has any clues or explanations they'd be much appreciated. I.

and its the same person in both places
