And the next photo will have...(real railway version)

[Jon Fitness]

Wild card? A nice claggy 37410 passing Chester PSB on its way to Warrington Arpley.

 

 

Next...A very tall signal?

Up Home Signal at Four Oaks prior to Cross City Electrification

 

 

Next up, an ex-LNER loco close to the Irish Sea, say within two miles.

Sorry about the poor quality. I was experimenting at the time with a 3x converter on my zoom lens (not advisable without a tripod).

 

Scotsman and Mayflower double-head a railtour towards Sellafield on 8th May 1976.

 

Next? Steam loco at Mallaig in BR days (i.e. not a preserved example).

[jonny777]

Oh dear, I seem to have done it again.

 

I was thinking of something like this -

Next? Steam loco at Mallaig in BR days (i.e. not a preserved example)

 

or even near Mallaig to keep the post going --

[NorthBrit]

As no photograph of   Mallaig  ---   A WILDCARD  -----

 

 

Next --  A photograph of any engine, steam or diesel, waiting at the signals.

[phil_sutters]

While I can't guarantee it is actually waiting, it looks as if it is!

 

 

Next a wide view inside Brighton station - please

I'm getting very puzzled here.  Jonny posted a picture of Mallaig in Post 229, albeit to answer his own nomination (or am I the only person who can see it?)

[NorthBrit]

As he did not name the next picture afterwards, I thought he was waiting for someone else to post a picture as well.  As that did not happen a wildcard was declared.  I hope that solves any confusion.

 

Phil's next suggestion     a wide view inside Brighton station - please

Yes, I did not name another subject in the hope that there might be another photo of Mallaig lurking in a collection somewhere; but also because I thought my choices were too hard.

Edit: Sorry, missed the word wide. Have this one instead.

 

Next up: A Fort

Choosing specific stations etc. can be hard and many would-be contributors tend to fall by the wayside.  Ideally a generic question brings quick response  --  even a specific area (e.g. Southern Region or Western Region) works well.

[phil_sutters]

I am assuming you wanted a bit of railway too

 

 

An express on the main Paddington to Bristol line - I hope that gives enough scope.

[The Stationmaster]

Well it is on the Bristol - Paddington Up Main line but it's actually a Newbury Races Members' Special - D1044

 

 

And next - a signal where you wouldn't expect to find it for some reason (preservation era acceptable)

[Al51]

On Hayling Island, still guarding the long demolished bridge. The line was closed in 1963.

 

 

Next - how about a London station.

Next: A close up in a cab.

Good grief, Mike. When did that activity stop?

1988? out of Dover.

They still use car floats in North America, as far as I know. And I expect in other countries around the world, too.

Not my picture and not showing the loading process, so just for interest.

1988? out of Dover.

The closest I got was behind a BRCW Type 3 to Weymouth Quay.

[EddieB]

There used to be a train/road vehicle ferry service operating across the strait between Helsingør (the Elsinore of Hamlet's castle - Kronberg in reality) in Denmark and Helsingborg in Sweden, until the rather magnificent Oresund bridge/tunnel road/rail link was opened in July 2000 (though a car ferry still operates).  Here is a picture of carriages being loaded onto the ferry at Helsingør - and another of SJ Z66 611 off-loading at Helsingborg - from September 1983.  

 

 

(My slide scanner is currently out of commission - I had intended to post a picture of DSB shunter MH 389 loading the carriages from the superstructure of the ferry).

 

The next picture will show a steam locomotive with more than ten driving wheels (preferably operational, pre-preservation).

1988? out of Dover.

The last Night Ferry ran on 31st October 1980 - which was perhaps a fourgon conclusion (sorry for repeating my only joke).

Is that you, Kenton?

[phil_sutters]

At last I found this rather fuzzy photo by my Dad of the Wath banker. There's an earlier and a lot cleaner member of the U1 class at http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/79579-lner-cl-u1-280-082-2395-faverdale-5-7-1925/

 

 

How far west can we find signs of GWML electrification?
