  1. Sorry newbryford, SVRlad's picture came in second (and only had two classes of EMU anyway!)
  2. Leeds is often good for that: Empty HSTs sit in Leeds station by night by Timothy Young, on Flickr Can I get another shot of Leeds station - the older the better, but I won't set a date to avoid lagging this thread.
  3. Not the most different of units, but a 158 and 153 pairing through Utley 158909 and 153352 on 2H89 by Timothy Young, on Flickr Next up, how about a shot including three different classes of multiple unit (not necessarily coupled together, but bonus points if they are!)
  4. Of over 100 shots of the 144s, I have no double workings, but here is a 142/144 combo: Double pacers on a Lincoln via Sheffield stopping service by Timothy Young, on Flickr How about a Pacer with Sprinter (150-159) combo next.
  5. Yay, had time to edit and upload this one: 142066 with 065 working Hexham to Nunthorpe by Timothy Young, on Flickr Enough number games! Lets have another double pacer working.
  6. Sleeper train passing Stafford The Up Highland sleeper passes Stafford by Timothy Young, on Flickr How about an on-board shot on a sleeper train

    Looks stunning, very similar to Iceland (but a lot greener), have you been, are they similar in character? A hint if you are transferring photos to your phone to post, to get image sizes down I use Instagram, it can import any size of image, but sizes them to about 1000px and you can crop and alter basic settings too. Then it saves to your phone memory when you post them, so you can upload them here.
  8. Actually there has been a recorded case of HAPE at around 1,000m so not impossible, but it is particularly amusing since there are towns in Canada higher than anything in the UK - Banff in Alberta is at 1,383m and has a population of over 6,000. The Canadian Foreign Office do seem very cautious, I have been to two places where they Advise Against All Travel and found them very pleasant!
  9. Not of, but from a train, with enough train in shot to hopefully qualify - Mount Etna from a Catania to Napoli train. This service crosses the Straight of Messina on a ship, lets have a train, or component thereof, being transported by ship.
  10. Not sure where we are now. So here is a pic I posted under "Loco with a Girl's Name" but missed so deleted: 57307 drags the powercars of 221144 by Timothy Young, on Flickr Lets have another multiple unit being dragged by (or dragging?) a diesel locomotive.
  11. A good quality camera with polarising filter would work just fine to catch people in the act.
  12. Lets go Middle Eastern with the Tehran Metro: How about an urban metro train in Northern Europe (lets say north of Munch!)
  13. If we are discussing (in good nature) plot inconsistencies, I always found it odd as a kid when The Doctor would joke with a frequent acquaintance (like The Brigadier) about times they teamed up to defeat a foe - then mention one that "has not happened for you yet", but it never seemed to occur the other way around. Thinking about it makes me want to watch the first three Doctor's episodes again, I just love the old grainy film stock and black & white filming of the early series, they give such an inadvertently documentary-style quality to the episodes. The Spearhead From Space genuinely traumatised me as a child, was scared of mannequins for years!
  14. Given the Doctor's different internal systems and presumably DNA, would he even be able to sire a human child? I always just assumed that Hartnell's Doctor had formed a close bond with the girl's grandmother (a companion in earlier adventures?) and had assumed the name of grandfather as a politeness. Was this ever covered by the show directly? I have not seen the earlier episodes for many years.
  15. I do worry that anyone who tries to legitimately criticise the actress for her performance or the writer for the storylines in the next series will risk being shot down by the PC brigade saying they are only criticising because it is a female lead. Personally I think 'The Doctor' was best when played as a Grandfatherly role by Hartnell, Pertwee and Cushing (yes, my favourite forgotten Doctor), never really liked the younger actors on the role. I also much preferred the old 'serial' format, with four or five 30 minute episodes - let you get your teeth into a story.
  16. Not the best shot, but here's the Carnforth Concrete Tower: Mark 2 coach in the first First Great Western livery by Timothy Young, on Flickr Lets get some more depot shots in. Can I get a photo of Bescot depot please, any time or angle.
  17. Here's a green and black steam engine in Iceland Lets start easier with a double-headed steam working, with both locos clearly working please (lots of smoke)
  18. Love it! Now in the spirit of such nonsense, here is a coach for carrying sleeping people, that has not seen this role in rather a while: Mark 1 sleeper car M2131 by Timothy Young, on Flickr And so now lets get an actual functioning, operating, sleeper passenger train...
  19. Loving the Jungfrau Railway photos by the way, certainly a dream trip to do some day (although I'd rather go up the outside!) Okay, lets try this - its got two trains passing in an underground station - they enter and leave via tunnels so I think it is the best we are going to get. 319424 arriving at London St. Pancras by Timothy Young, on Flickr Lets make it an easy one again this time - a sleeper train, anywhere in the world.
  20. Have a Swedish train in Oslo: Next, how about a freight train emerging from a tunnel.
  21. Engineering train: 60087 working through Steeton by Timothy Young, on Flickr How about a locomotive in the 'Dutch' Civil Engineering paint scheme.
  22. Fascinating memories. It leads to the endless argument of whether all stock should be in use at all times to maximise available seats on timetabled trains, or some should always be kept aside for relief like this.
  23. OHLE: 315809 passing Stratford by Timothy Young, on Flickr How about another of the 1972 BREL EMU designs - ie. a Class 313/314/507/508
  24. Well, picking a photo completely at random from my gallery for a wildcard: 150141 sits in Bradford on an Ilkley departure by Timothy Young, on Flickr Lets keep things simple for a bit, seem to have been some accidentally overly difficult requests lately that have slowed this thread right down. How about a Suburban Electric Multiple Unit, anywhere in the world that you fancy.
