Rumblestripe Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Patina... Another oddment from nosing around the NYMR shed at Grosmont I thought it might be useful for anyone trying get the exact shade of BR green (it must be on there somewhere!) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 There must be miles of old Broad Gauge rail scattered around ex-GW territory, being used as fence supports. This is at Winterbourne near to the South Wales mainline. Of course the line via Badminton has always been "narrow gauge", so Swindon must've recycled the old rails and used them wherever they were required. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Had a pleasant walk along an old railway trackbed last evening - totally different weather than the heavy rain of today. Though the line closed to passengers 51 years ago and to freight some 38 years ago, remnants remain if you know what you're looking for. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Going by the Plate-Layers hut, am I right in thinking that's the Broadstone - Wimborne section, with the tunnel a few hundred yards behind you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS1977 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The (relatively) newly rebuilt Reading station taken from a Piper PA28-161 Warrior II. My flat is only just out of shot. Obviously taken fairly recently judging by the scaffolding on Reading Bridge and the work in progress son the new foot/cycle bridge over the Thames.

Not quite Matt, but the same line, so well spotted! This is near the former Stapehill Abbey (between West Moors and Wimborne). We're looking towards Wimborne. Difficult to believe this was once the main Waterloo - Poole/Weymouth double-track mainline. Even the Bournemouth Belle was occasionally diverted this way if there was engineering work on the later direct route. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame the Broadstone to Wimborne preservation plan fell through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
