Dave Scott Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 They were always asleep. Pete As a guard on SVR I could take a fence, I need the wood for a fire.

Rugd1022 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 These days he looks more like an over ripe '80s tribute band member! A nice rainy / grainy moment on the SVR... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted September 13, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2014 i really like this picture if i say so my self!! I agree. A really well composed shot, and it somehow captures the spirit of railways perfectly. 1914 or 2014, this is what's it's all about. Thanks for sharing that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
