PKP class leader Ol49-1 2-6-2 departs Toruń with the 14.18hrs passenger service to Bydgoszcz on 28 July 1977.

And on to P

I don't, but if it comes down to nothing else can I find a picture from T' internet?

 

And for G, can it be the beginning letter of the second word?

G was eventually covered.

CLP17 'Árabana' at Two Wells, South Australia on 11 December 2016. 

I - is next

So the Government in 2040 will buy every petrol and diesel car left on a scrapagge scheme ? .

 

Pure fantasy twaddle, until the electric car is viable they are living in fantasy world. The Nissan Leaf manages if you are lucky 100 miles on a charge = no thanks its useless, other than a town car .

.......and apparently if you travel at over 30mph in one Mr Stephenson's new fangled Rocket trains the forces on the body will kill you 

From the opening post in the thread..... 

Hello All,
Thought I'd start a new topic - "Lines in the Landscape". As the title suggests, this is the place to put your photos where the train/railway is just a part of the overall landscape. Could be town or country - the railway might dominate the landscape or may just be a tiny part of it.

.....or is this destined to become another "what I saw on Facebook today" thread?

During what would now be considered the early days of privatisation, NSE and Stagecoach colours mingle on a rather damp May day in 1998 at Waterloo (click on the pic to see more detail).

On 13 March 1989 a westbound empty stone train passes West Ealing behind 56056

Tooo late

I lived for many years (1964-1984) very close to Romford Greenline garage (RE), and it became apparent from about the mid/late 70's that London Country wanted to get rid of the East London Greenline services. The 721 operated in turn RT/RCL/RP and finally SNC. The service was always popular until they introduced the SNC which as Gwiwer says cannot in any way be described as a coach with their slippery plastic upholstered seats, even the RT's with their standard bus seats were far better. They had the desired effect from London Country's point of view as they drove customers away and gave them an excuse to cease the service.

.....and LNCs. EDIT - a bit from Ian's Bus Stop about their short lived life on these routes http://www.countrybus.org/National/LN.htm

A Broken Hill to Port Pirie loaded ore train near Thackaringa (new South Wales) in August 1991

Whether the signal actually worked is open to conjecture, but within a couple of minutes of waiting  this delightful narrow gauge logging train hauled by 763.217 rolled into view. Voislova system, Romania, September 1974.

Next - narrow gauge diesel (less than metre gauge)

Thanks for the link and apologies for this tangent - ........

 

 

No wonder there is apparently a growing sense of distance between "normal (sic) people" and "The Elite". Every statement feels to me like we are being treated as either dumb consumers or potentially insolent upstarts.

 

Sorry for OT rant...

That's exactly what Pol Pot used to say  

Transition days on Merseyrail - a Class 508 arrives at Birkenhead North sometime in September 1984 (better viewed full screen)

These are AEC Renowns with Park Royal bodies.

Thanks. No idea where I got the incorrect information from?

A 4-CIG (still carrying it's real number) and a 4-VEP race southward through Norbury in March 1984 (click on the pic for better view)

Less than ideal conditions - total gloom, temperature hovering around 0C, intermittent light snow falling and the road to Garsdale closed beyond Dent station due to adverse weather conditions. However despite all this, 48151 appeared to make fairly light work of hauling 'The White Rose Moorlander' upgrade through Dent station on the Settle and Carlisle line - 20 March 2013. Unfortunately the Stanier 8F failed at Carlisle prior to working the train back south. 

Next - a diesel hauled freight in the UK with semaphores

Time for a wildcard......Manchester Victoria in September 1984 (as always better viewed full screen)

Next - an image of another major city station before it underwent major rebuilding.

Loving this thread. My N Gauge Society Collett full brake in blue just arrived in the post so looking for some possible parcels combos to put together.

34007 in a lay by on the A31 between Alresford and the M3 on 3 September 2015.

It was on its way to the North Norfolk Railway gala, but held up because of an accident on the M3. In the end I think it had to go turn back and go home to the MHR.

Next - a wildcard

 

I hate the computer graphics. Bring back the large scale models!

Cross over marketing gone absolutely crazy  -  what an absolute load of cobblers.

And children it's only make believe - in real life Shane never made it to Melbourne.

 

Next let's have double-headed hydraulics in BR days

I have one of pair of 35s lurking on my hard drive.......but can I find it?

they were there the other day with trees growing through, didn't take any pictures, but if you google the area you can see them on the sat view.

they are being taken away slowly on a truck though now so wont be there much longer.

Managed to get one of those moves on 12 March 2013

34070 'Manston' really looks the part as it pulls into Harmans Cross station with the 1400hrs Swanage to Norden service - on a very wet 19 August 2015.

I't cant be that hard?
