RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted December 5, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2014 I like the hitch pitch of cobbled together coaches in the background. Mend and make-do at its best! That could be the tag line for ANTB ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That walk out onto the Levels was just about the coldest I've ever been! Biting wind coming in straight off the Bristol Channel and whipping up quite large waves on the Sedgemoor Sea!

RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted December 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2014 Didcot, Newbury and Southampton line train, very GWR! It joined the LSWR main line south of Winchester, both LSWR & GWR stations. Something I've never really known about before. Great times. P My favourite GWR cross-country line! Had a great mix of locos over the years. I wrote up a list of some of them once: http://www.gwr.org.uk/nodns.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted December 5, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2014 Tim I see you got a speaking part on the Somerset Sea, you should indent for an oggie or two on top of the sausages. Any sign of Timmy Twotrousers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right this was one of the first photos you sent - the H44. The size of the image says a lot about what has happened since then! Anything larger and the page download would take too long. I remember a rule of the time: Anything above 16 seconds for a page to a show, and you would loose the visitor. More like 2 seconds today! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2014 Anyone still surfing on a hit and miss dial-up modem? No - but pole-mounted copper wire can be a bit limiting here in da stix. I get 3.6MB on a good day, less than 1MB too often. Picture-heavy pages take ages to download then. Plus sites with ads often freeze the page until the ads - from a different source, of course - finally arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olddudders, Try an add blocker as mentioned by Andy Y on a thread I started when I had a problem with RM Web on my on my PC not opening up. I have since downloaded ad blocking software to my laptop and tab, speeds things up a bit. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/93196-help-needed-accessing-rmweb-on-my-pc/ SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted December 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2014 Wonderful images Rob.....hang on....... Calender checked. I was on the verge of settling down with a large port to peruse these when I realised if was in fact Saturday and not Sunday. As a point of order can I respectfully request a warning should these type of images appear on a Saturday again. Dashed confusing. Rab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
