escafeld Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hi All, nice to meet you. I can't remember how I arrived here, but it was probably something to do with research. I like it and have seen some threads looking for photos, so I've decided to offer a few from my collection. If you are a member of geograph.org.uk, as am I, or have been a visitor, you may have seen a few before. If you haven't come across Geograph then you might find the fact that there are many photos of the railway scene on there well worth joining for - http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4330 Geograph hosts over 4,000,000 photos of the British Isles, and covers many of the countries 1km grid squares. Only the coverage of Southern Ireland lags behind, so if you live there... Signalboxes, from the site - http://www.geograph.org.uk/discuss/index.php?&action=vthread&forum=6&topic=14836&dontcount=1&page=0 Regards Dave Test photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmisterporter Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Welcome to the forum Dave, thanks for the link there are potentially hours of interesting reading there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escafeld Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Thanks, Ohmisterporter, I was about to delete me from the thread. Yes, years in fact. There is actually a separate site for Ireland (Ireland.ie) and Germany has also started a matching site, but sadly the same interest isn't there.

DonB Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yes, Welcome to the forum! Looked at the geograph site, (without signing in.... what benefits from doing so?) interesting sets of pictures, mostly seem to be well captioned. Thanks for the link.

Can't participate and I think, can't read the forum or profile pages (at least the expanded version). I'm not sure about the themed topics, but why not join anyway? A themed topic about signalboxes - http://www.geograph.org.uk/discuss/index.php?&action=vthread&forum=6&topic=14836&dontcount=1&page=0 Might you have some valuable photos of the past. Copyright yours, of course, although you can attribute the photos to someone else. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escafeld Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 There's nothing like a little diversion at work, Kev, it stop you from falling asleep :-) The trouble with Geograph is that before you know it an hour has passed by and you've got nowt done.
