BG John Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Taken almost exactly 24 hours ago - a shiny new Class 707 EMU out on, I presume, crew training with lots of cars heading in the opposite direction plus even more parked in the background. And even a handy sign to tell you the location. DSCF9946.jpg Is that really Wokingham? I didn't recognise it until I read the "handy sign". I only lived there for 16 years, after spending 26 years in the next town! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 IMG_1467.JPG A car and a railway. Just north of Corrour I'm semi-reliably informed that the adhesion/leaf fall treatment train up the remains of the Woodhead line from Sheffield to Deepcar is going to be a Land Rover (Sand Rover?) this year. Finding it to photograph is not going to be easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The old entrance to Nine Elms Shed in October '66... Not sure where this is... Derailment at Ryecroft Junction, Walsall... That nice Mr.Bond chappie takes the train... Weymouth 1966, photo by Geoff Marsh... Not sure where... Kensington Olympia...

ardbealach Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 60009 'Union of South Africa' on John Cameron's site of the Lochty Private Railway in Fife. This was after its BR service when it went into preservation in the late 1960's. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 10, 2017 I notice a few of what appear to be "grabs" from other people's work creeping in I assume we are still not allowing things that you don't own? Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted October 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 10, 2017 Manx Electric Railway: I'm not sure if this counts as a car, but it's got four wheels and is normally found on the road so what the heck. Taken at the IoM Steam Railway's shed (from a train) at Douglas. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted October 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2017 Back to The Canadian in 2006. We were stuck for about two hours at Blue River, BC, waiting for a failed freight train to be rescued. The building is in the middle of a triangle, tracks visible in the trees to the right and going behind the building. This was taken from the train when a railway gang emerged from breakfast to go off to site. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted October 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2017 As it doesn't seem to matter how little railway or car can been seen, here's one which had a dozen or so Morris Minors lined up in different formations, with and without doors, boots and bonnets open, for the delectation of the City workers in Exchange Square, which sits above the northern end of London's Liverpool Street Station. The station and trains can be seen through the glazed screen of the overall roof. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2017 Is that really Wokingham? I didn't recognise it until I read the "handy sign". I only lived there for 16 years, after spending 26 years in the next town! And you couldn't even see the massive multi-storey car park on the far side of the station building on the site of the old goods yard. The one way road in front of the station building is a sort of inner ring road for Reading bound traffic being kept out of the town centre - no wonder it has two pedestrian crossings less than 100 yards apart!

cal.n Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm semi-reliably informed that the adhesion/leaf fall treatment train up the remains of the Woodhead line from Sheffield to Deepcar is going to be a Land Rover (Sand Rover?) this year. Finding it to photograph is not going to be easy. Images here: http://www.aquariusrail.com/products/sand-r2r-4x4sand-rover/ A bit OT, but I am planning on motorizing one of these whenever it becomes available in OO. Have several pictures of that Fort William based vehicle and more detail shots in in a McDonalds car park. Have built a working chassis here, but its wrong wheelbase and not DCC so will built new one when I have the diecast to measure. If anyone wants prototype pictures let me know.

It's the road that totally disorientated me. And the new footbridge. I must make sure I don't go back there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) A view from the car park on the top of the 1960's New St Station towards the GWR viaduct over the Rea Valley I tried to replicate that view from the new car park on the rebuilt station: Keith EDIT the only two things remaining are the Rotunda and St Martin's steeple and the extra height of the New Bullring obscures the view of the railway!

bimble Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 the first is from Jasper, a Canadian National U-1-a parked up at the station and further down the line, a pair of CN Dash 9's hauling a bunch of military vehicles and going back to the year 2000, the crossing at Wernigerode on the HSB 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
