  1. The Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway line has to be one of my 'S's. Of course this has been scanned for one of John Sutters negatives I could have used this one for my Radstock R
  2. The three locos hauling the Seaford 150 celebration specials, in 2014 - two at Seaford and one at Newhaven - two steam and one diesel
  3. Given my interest in the railways of north Somerset I would be remiss if I didn't find a Radstock photo in Dad's albums. 5708 was the number on the diecast Gaiety pannier, with it's three-railed Triang chassis, that was one of the first two model locos I owned. So 57XXs are among my favorites.
  4. Reading is my most obvious choice for R - and this illustrates the nightmare for photographers that OHLE is - even before the wires go up!
  5. I am getting a bit desperate using 'Quay' again, but I don't think anyone else is likely to use this one
  6. Surrey Quays station on the East London London Overground line
  7. Glasgow Queen Street - I don't think that I have used this one in this thread before.
  8. One of my photos for a change - the Queen Mother at Waterloo. Was her face left dirty when her sides were cleaned, or does this illustrate how fast a newly cleaned loco acquires flies and grot on its cab front?
  9. Ryde Pier Head - just across the water from Portsmouth Harbour. To avoid confusion - across the water seen below is Ryde.
  10. Another, somewhat less grand, London station starting with P - Peckham Rye
  11. You only have to look at the S&DJR's early locos and rolling stock to see a mix of independent builders' products and non-standard parent company built engines. Passenger and goods stock were largely built in house at Highbridge, but showed influences of Midland and LSWR stock. You can see a selection of official photos at http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/album/4114-sdjr-official-rolling-stock-photos/
  12. O for One - the stupidest name for a railway company - followed by First....... anything They make station announcements very confusing.
  13. Given Dad's university education and years of retirement there I'd better choose an Oxford scene
  14. I am shocked to see no mention of model railways among facilities that would benefit from an electrical installation.
  15. Newcastle this time - not a brilliant photo, but I like the atmosphere and it's a former North Eastern Railway loco.
  16. North British Railway Class F (LNER class J88) 0-6-0T loco BR no. 68328 at Edinburgh
