mozzer models Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Rules The image must be one square kilometre square from an OS 1:50,000 map. That square must contain a recognisable railway feature. That square shall not be edited to remove content. Whoever guesses correctly has to set the next question - use http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/getamap/ to originate your square. The correct answer will be adjudged by the person who set that question. Legal bit Images produced from the Ordnance Survey Get-a-map service.

Beardybloke Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Cracked it... just north of Highley on the SVR. Give me a mo and I'll put up the square... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardybloke Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hmm... can't seem to figure out how to upload an image to an edited post. New post then! Highley: New one: Mozz - I got a fair few on the original, went away for a few weeks and couldn't stand the thought of looking through another 20 pages to see if anything had been used before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardybloke Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hmmm... over 24 hours, but can't tell if it's because it's really difficult or because nobody's around yet. Ask me if you want a clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted October 10, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2009 [grump mode] I posted a new square in this game in the old forum & I can't find out whether anyone actually answered it...[/grump mode] Beardybloke - the trick with the old one was to use the "search this topic" box & look for names close to the square you intended posting. Since the idea was to type in the answer quickly before anyone else & then add the picture of the map, if there was no answer with your intended square the chances are it hadn't been used! I posted 2 duplicates of earlier squares before I learnt that trick. Looks like that option is still available for when we get up to 100 pages of posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Clue - this was built as a light railway by an engineer who went on to build several other light railways, including the Lyme Regis branch and the Southwold Railway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
