  1. A couple from around Cheltenham in 1980. Two pictures of Lansdown Road.
  2. Isn't there some connection between Newbridge and Erwood box?
  3. Combe Junction in 1975 and Morris Cowley in 1978.
  4. Westbury North in 1974, followed by Westbury South on its last day of operation.
  5. Fencote in 1976, happily restored since. Note the reversed brick colours. Dolgellau in 1975, now under the town's bypass. And Dyffryn Ardudwy in 1972.
  6. Agree there. Dulverton was the first station I explored - in around 1969/70. Track was gone, but all the platforms were there. On my second visit in '76 the island platform had gone. No signal box photos! Barnstaple Victoria Rd had the goods shed intact in '76, also a rake of pre-nationalisation vans - isolated from the rest of the system. I took several pictures of those, but no signal box there either!
  7. These two make an interesting comparison. 1976 and 1995. Hallen Marsh.
  8. Can't see you in these pictures either! Our special was supposed to be going up to Cranmore, but as usual was running late. We stopped here.
  9. Avonmouth Dock junction - from the M5 bridge! At the time (1979) there was a footpath on this side - I didn't stop the car to take a photo..
  10. How about that engine that fell into a hole? Isn't it still there? Or what about those engines in New Zealand used as river banks. Extinct, but intact.
  11. Wellington in 1980, then in 1998, 18 years later. spot the differences!
  12. The Dapol coaches have the same faults as the 4mm versions - extra windows, incorrect battery boxes, end details, but can be 'improved'.
  13. Glendon Sidings in 1980. Closed two weeks later.
  14. I consider it to be reasonably accurate, though I wrote it several years ago! You can always update the information.
  15. You're getting confused there, the Bset produced by Airfix/Dapol etc was the E140. By changing the bogies to 9' it could be an E145. E116 - K's E129, E147 - Comet.
