This image came up on the car radio display whilst sat in a traffic jam:

I'm blaming the Wife and Daughter for their Eurovision fixation currently on the MP3 stick).

 

I thought it would make a good cameo subject for a model railway/diorama (I can't remember the exact location, but it's somewhere in Hamburg). So apart from this, Blur's Modern life is Rubbish and a few 7" records of steam engines, which other album covers would be modellable...?

Continuing the Pink Floyd theme, it's occurred to me that, in the same way that exhibition layouts often have spotter challenges aimed mainly at children - eg, find three dogs, two foxes, two hares and a pheasant - you could do one based on cameo scenes illustrating various Pink Floyd albums and see how many people can spot them all. For example:

 

  • A whitewashed square of brick wall
  • Livestock pens containing sheep and three different pigs, with a couple of sheepdogs watching over them
  • A bagpiper playing in front of the gates to a factory named "Dawn Foods"
  • A solitary cow in a field, looking back over its shoulder
  • A poster advertising a travel agency

 

Alternatively, you could do it with U2 singles:

 

  • A street with a blank name plate
  • A clock at 11 o'clock
  • Something on fire
  • A hill with a single tree on it
  • Hornby R30081 passing through the station

 

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Ok, it's sheet music, but I couldn't let this howler go.

To enhance the howler, both classes of loco were in front-line service when the cover was produced!

At least it has the right number of wheels....
