The Blue Streak Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 You might have a problem doing the round trip in under the 24 hours before the wildcard rule kicks in! Google maps say I can manage one way in 10hr 35 mins, so if I didn't eat, sleep or stop for a p you never know. Thankfully Eddie has saved Me with his Z. Of course what I would have done is just popped down to Bassendean and photographed the Zanthus cabin that's been relocated to the Rail Museum and just told you chaps I did the big trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The goods yard at Wokingham, Berkshire. One of my grottiest photos, but it was taken from the window of a moving train, with one of my early cameras. I suppose it could even have been my Mum's Box Brownie! Next, yet another shire county. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomboid Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I've got one - but not accessible where I am now Also cant remember if it says Berlin Zoologischer Garten Google tells me this: Bhf BZG.png I doubt it'll have the Berlin prefix on the U-Bahn. S-Bahn might since it shares it's alignment with the main line.Anyway, that's ancient history now. I can't ask since I have no proper contribution but anyone got a picture of a 2-8-4 "Berkshire" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted July 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Gloucestershire this one. I am not sure of the origin of this coach - although it says Eastern Region. The neighbouring coach looks interesting, from the little bit one can see. Another shire - there's still several left.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted July 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2017 Isle of Wight - Hampshire? Taken around 1986 at Ryde And now J I think you will find that the Isle of Wight is a county - with out a shire at the end. If it were to be part of Hampshire, that county has been had - at Eastleigh above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG John Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Brixton Road in Devonshire. I bet no ones got a photo of a train in Tolkein's Shire, so I suppose we'd better have another British one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatofludham Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Here's a conundrum. If we are talking shires, then this photo is in Merionethshire (English spelling) although administratively it is Gwynedd, which isn't a shire county. Meirionnydd (Welsh spelling) was a district of Gwynedd between 1974 and 1996, and a Cantref of the old Kingdom of Gwynedd. So I'll go with Merionethshire!
