RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted December 31, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 31, 2009 I hate you Mr York, these puzzles are too addictive and I haven't the time to look at the rest of RMWEB now. Not only that, but I haven't scored a point yet. Best regards, Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely! I found newhaven by accident looking for the answer to tonights quiz questions - will be adding it to my favourites after I'm done going through all the pics!

You can say that again - I seem to find myself spending longer trying to run down the identity of some things than I do on the jigsaws However in some cases I've got the answer long before finishing the jigsaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted December 31, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 31, 2009 I recognised Keyhaven by just putting a few pieces together but had no idea about the second one - but even with my limited prototype knowledge I realised that it was a Southern based layout and put that into a search in the layouts section, then after a few results I spotted one called Newhaven and made the connection between the two. First day Chesterfield was an easy one with the crooked spire but I had no idea about the second, day 2 kept me up until 1.00am but I had no idea what layouts they were, day 3 with the railways in the snow, I remembered seeing them and then it was just a case of searching for the originals. Off out now (Mary wants to go shopping - she can't decide if I'm mad or sad ) Don't start the next one without me Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Interesting that several people have mentioned recognising Chesterfield by the crooked spire. In my case, I spotted Larry's distinctive colouring style well before I had enough pieces in place to see the spire. So, it was easy to find the original by a quick scan through his gallery. Like others, though, I simply had no idea about the second picture, other than that it could be LNER The rest I've either remembered seeing them before or just had to do a laborious search...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 31, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2009 Chesterfield wasn't too difficult for me - clearly ex GCR (locos - ok so they do move around) and signals (they tend not to move B) ) and then work out where it wasn't left it basically as 'probably Chesterfield', then I looked more closely at the spire and that was that.

Andy Y Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Just so I can maybe not spoil too much of your evenings I thought I'd drop the puzzles out early tonight! One easy one and one stinker; the only thing is I won't know which one you will find hard.

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted December 31, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 31, 2009 Took an hour and half to do both - I think I know what they are but no idea where - except that one is a junction and the other is by a straight road - and the photos weren't taken this year Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted December 31, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 31, 2009 Wrap up warm then Nick, it's cold out. I agree - just got back from a walk around the village to clear my head after doing the puzzles. Heard lots of fireworks going off which made me wonder why?? Midnight I can understand but why at 10.00pm unless WW3 has broken out and no one told me Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I really only meant 'out' as far as the quiz was concerned, though I did venture out into the garden to clear my head after failing to find tonight's answers I worked out 'what' they were, but couldn't do better than 'England' for 'where', and I'm not entirely confident that's right for the b/w pic. The laugh is on me really as earlier this evening I'd posted something extolling the virtues of searching, but tonight my searching skills failed miserably to find the originals :icon_redface: Nick ps.

298 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Those ones with the small pieces are hard - it took me a good few hours just to print them onto paper & cut the pieces out.... Actually, I discovered a bit of a cheat for doing lots of blue sky, but I couldn't possibly repeat it on here.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Well done again to Jonathan on Day 5 who built up an unassailable lead with a day to spare (which means he can take tonight off)! Thank you to Dr K. for the image of the Western leaving Derby - http://www.rmweb.co....image&img=10922 - I did that one just to see if Mike Bellamy would get it! Thanks to owentherail for the APT-E snap taken between Didcot and Swindon on speed trials -? http://www.rmweb.co....php?f=7&t=36769, The connection between the two was that each was roughly where the other was more likely to be found. There's no connection between tonight's puzzles though, these will be posted a little later tonight. As a small footnote I discovered an email from Steve Sykes in my Spam folder today which would have given him 3 points on day 3 so I've tagged those onto yesterday's scores. Apologies Steve.

That was Derby was it shows how much I know doesn't it - at least I recognised it as a Western - but even then I checked a few google images to make sure. Even if I had known it was a photo from Peter K it wouldn't have made any difference as I'm not a train spotter I have my Mickleover Club duties later - collecting the cash - so I doubt I'll feature again on the leader board - however it's been great fun and an almost pleasant way to spend the evening Congratulations to Jonathan :icon_clap: Mike :icon_wave: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
