JZ Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Starting this as I can't find one in a similar vein and it's more than just inspiration. Feel free to add any picture you feel is in the same vein, whether UK or anywhere. Came across this photo in the Disused Stations group on Facebook. Aberbargoed station. Taken sometime after closure, I am not sure if the line was still open at that time. The rails look used, but it may be that they are just wet. Photographer unknown. If I find out, I will add. Most of this has been swept away to widen the road, though I understand that part of the far end of the platform remains. The Middleton Press book covering this line show a couple more pictures. In one of them, the line is still in use, but Smith's arms Hotel is gone. Picture of buses threading their way under the bridge can be found on the Risca Museum website. Halfway around the World, we find this. Photo: Peter Enlund Molesworth in Victoria. taken in 1978, the line is long closed and now a cycle route.

JZ Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Couple more pictures, both in the USA. This first one I have in the planning, as it will fit nicely on the narrow gauge layout. My son is playing around with the sign to get me something I can work with. Next is somewhere in the Midwest USA. Loads of places like this in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Kris Posted March 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 7 I saw this corner of a building in Bude at the Weekend and loved the way that the render was falling off and exposing some nice brickwork. The irony that the sign on the building is talking about health when the building is in a poor state of repair struck me too. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Lamb Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Try this one. A cafe somewhere in the mountains near the border between Argentina and Chile. Severe gales are not uncommon in the area and with a 60mph plus wind it rocked alarmingly from side to side. Bernard 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
