Steamport Southport Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think number three is Leamington. http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrls2200b.htm I've got a feeling I know number one as well. It's one with a DRC shed at the side. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The first shot looks like Slough. IIRC the lean-to extension on the left was for Railcars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 To be honest I should have got Widnes straight away seeing as it was only about four miles away from me. Closed before I was about though. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 84C Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 No 3 is Banbury in its 2D period probably 1965/66 I worked there. I agree No 5 Basingstoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Having a look here, yes definitely Banbury. https://www.steve-banks.org/prototype-and-traffic/85-modelling/217-banbury-loco-shed If you look at the bottom of the page it even has the same Black Five. Not that far off with Leamington though. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
