RMweb Premium melmerby Posted September 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Island Gardens or probably Mudchute I think - I can't match it up with my photos of Island Gardens*, but that's where there used to be a viaduct. *unless I mislabelled them! Island Gardens, I reckon, where a completely new elevated station was built with the platforms forming a "wye" at the end of the single track section. See picture here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Island_Gardens_DLR_station_in_1992.jpg This is what's there now: https://goo.gl/maps/eUFkA6dP35v Keith Incidentally I've got copies of the first and second editions of the "Docklands Light Railway" Official Handbook. the only pictures of Island Gardens are from an approching train!

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Two London connections in this one. 390005 at Manchester Piccadilly Why London? Piccadilly was known as London Road before it was rebuilt for the WCML electrification. And 390005 is on a London bound service.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 30, 2017 Another London Road - this time in Derby - May 2013 And 31190 from the same spot in 2007. This was pretty much the proper start of my yellow modelling - 977969 is behind the 31. Cheers, Mick 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted September 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) These are from an album I made to show Dad, who was by 1992 more-or-less house-bound, what the new-look Liverpool Street was like. I nipped over there in my lunch-hour from Bermondsey. Did a quick photo tour and headed back. I took lots more inside and around the station and included a few of the refurbished details, Edited September 30, 2017 by phil_sutters 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieB Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 As I live (and mostly work) in close proximity I'm spoilt for for choice again, Seeing Phil's selection of the "modern" Liverpool Street, here's some from 1977 - when it was more of a station and less of an office basement/shopping mall. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 So we've done all the compass points, but we haven't done all things Scottish. So here's a Scotrail 158 heading south towards Inverness past Kinbrace on the Far North Line, August 2016. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) GWR 6020 King Henry IV Paddington 28 8 1950.jpg I would think that would look odd as the coach immediately behind appears to still be in GW livery.

eastwestdivide Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 OK Scotland then. A long way from home, whether you define a 73's home as the Southern or the Scottish sleepers. 73968 being delivered from Loughborough to its new Scottish home in Dec 2015, at Rotherham Masboro: Also visible top left by the lens flare, that ghost sign that I posted a couple of pages back. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) You can't get more Scottish than this - inside the former Station Hotel (now The Royal Highland Hotel) at Inverness Or this - and yes there is a railway there - just north of Tain, crossing the bridge behind the barrel yard at the Glenmorangie distillery with Dornoch Firth peeping in in the background. Taken during a visit to the distillery - obviously PS Pics I took inside the distillery have no railway interest; do they?
