    I have told this story before and been taken to task for my description of the sound I heard...........but anyway I was in the gents on York station, when I heard the unmistakeable clank of con-rods. I hastily finished my ablutions and shot out onto the platform to find this -

    Can't get a lot more red on a loco than this!

    Was that RED or RES you wanted? (Edit I shouldn't have put the second photo forward - I expect we will get round to snow-ploughs as a topic sooner or later.)

    I was hoping that unauthentic paint job wouldn't appear! They were never blue despite no.80 having been painted in photographic pale grey with some lining, for its official photograph at Derby. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/77583-sdjr-2-8-0-no-80-derby-1914-wdn-1959/

    From this angle there is probably more yellow than blue!

    Ex GWR with SR again- Occasionally, Dad, without the benefit of Photoshop, wanted to trim out something from the background - out came the nail-scissors! This is an example.

    I am fairly sure the first few coaches are LMS rather than GWR - the rest you/I can't really tell

    Many thanks, Bernard. It's amazing what is out there on the net. So many times odd things on this site lead me off into all sorts of interesting subjects. Best wishes Phil

    OK - the rest of the train was SR stock

    While looking at the area, prompted by the discussion above, I was surprised to see a station at Tower on the Metropolitan line after Aldgate on my gazetteer map of c1884. I hadn't been aware it went beyond Aldgate. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/81528-new-railway-map-c1884-ne-london/ As it's shown in the key as Metropolitan & District was it picked up by the District line, as Tower Hill, when it went eastwards towards Upminster? Was it ever the Metropolitan terminus beyond Aldgate?

    I think that most are still there, although as time goes by they seem to be getting hidden by extensions and shrubbery. A couple of years ago one came up for sale and one could see that they had kept the internal compartments with their doors inside a larger structure. They could be seen fairly well on Google maps satelite view, although you need to know what to look for. This one is the easiest to spot and was still in a similar state when I was there a couple of years ago. Phil

    Oh how the mighty have fallen - as a stores hulk - photo taken by my grandpa while working on the electrification of the dockyard facilities c1907. Mind you at least Victory had her masts unlike today's stumpy things.

    I have an earlier set of Bristol maps in my album at http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/album/4370-maps-of-bristol/ shouldthey be of any interest. If you want to see the maps enlarged go to the 'options' button near top right and choose 'view all sizes'. Then pick the size you want. (You may already know this - but I took a time to find that function!)
