JZ Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I did try yesterday afternoon, but by the time I finished, RMweb was down . So here we go again, some easy, some a bit more difficult. Not all from my travels, one or two of my Dad's and one or two from JZjr and one from an old friend no longer wih us. 1. A goods shed. When the picture was taken there was still track into it. It is now demolished. But where 2. Where . There has been a bit of discussion about this recently. 3. This is the one by my old friend Ray. Should be easy for some. 4. Another not in the West of England, but where 5. Name four loco's and their numbers No bonus points for those that can name the two just out of shot right and left. Yes, this is the right photo.

Jim49 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 If the picture is of Dartmoor, are we talking Exe, Yeo, Lyd, etc? (That last one is an abbreviation, not a suggestion) Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 If the picture is of Dartmoor, are we talking Exe, Yeo, Lyd, etc? (That last one is an abbreviation, not a suggestion) Jim Not Dartmoor either. OK, I think a clue is neccessary. Nearer my God to thee . Maybe not, but the Kingdom of Heaven Certainly.

JZ Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Could we be thinking about, at least in part, some of Mr. Bulleids' products. You could indeed. But only 3 of the 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZ Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 I thought that you said four locos'. I'll have a go anyway. 34006 Bude 34008 Padstow 34039 Boscastle 34016 Bodmin also came to mind 5011 Tintagel Castle Good try, but all wrong I'm afraid. As for the added one, I forgot the church just in the righthand edge of the photo. So the clues so far. I am standing in the Kingdom of Heaven as it was once known, I am facing an Atlantic with a Pacific right behind and to the left. I think there will be a Jubilee if you can get them all.

Jim49 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 You are standing on Lundy Island 34029 facing West, and the Atantic you are facing is the Atlantic Ocean. Right behind you on the mainland is Woolacombe 34044 and due South of you (to your left) is Bude 34006 although Hartland 34101 is probably closer. The only Jubilee connection I can get is North West Frontier 45584 and the area of Lundy called North West Point but even I know I'm pushing my luck with that.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2010 Name and number please Ian Sore point, Julian! As far as I am concerned, the loco is No 39, an LBSCR Marsh H1 (that's the earlier type with crinkly frame). The Southern Railway decided headlands were fair game so this became 2039, Hartland Point, rather late in life. [As Hamilton Ellis's history of the LBSCR noted, headlands were alright, perhaps, but lacked a certain je ne sais quoi, as they say around here.] Behind you would thus be Hartland, 34101 - a girl in my year at skool had Hartland as a family middle name. The only Jubilee I can ever think of is Bihar & Orissa, which in my yoof was pictured in some trainspotter's annual belting though suburban Manchester. I did see a few of them but they didn't hit the spot. Yes, there's a Jubilee website, but I didn't immediately spot the Devon reference. Deb and I never got as far up the coast as Hartland Point - we tended to stop at Morwenstow, just in Cornwall, when on day-trips upcountry from Port Isaac.
