[ole man]

It is Bletchley, cant be to harsh.
Its the Engineers sidings.
So i suppose TB has it

 

[Track Basher]

OK try this one:

 

[David]

I'm going to take a wild guess at Llandudno Jn.

 

[Track Basher]

That was just too easy.

Correct answer

 

[David]

Open floor.

 

[33056]

Try this oldie (not quite as long ago as the last pic!)

 

[ole man]

Somewhere near Birmingham?

 

[33056]

Somewhere near Birmingham?

No......

 

[Track Basher]

Looks like Norwich but I don't think it is.

 

[ole man]

Wolverhampton Low Level?

 

[33056]

Looks like Norwich but I don't think it is.

But it is
7th September 1992 with 37216 on 7T98 engineers trip to Ipswich Yard.

 

[Track Basher]

Well there you go. I did not think that was correct.

This one is tricky and from 1983.

Swansea docks?

 

[Track Basher]

Nope, miles away.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Looks like a class 06 which by 1983 only had two locations; Dunfermline Townhill and Reading Signal Works ( the latter now underneath an industrial estate ).

The undulating low lying hills plus the disused platform ( the Reading Signal Works were on the site of an old station, Reading Town ) makes me suspect Reading, which was not stuffed as full of taller buildings at the time as it is now.


Floor open if it is.

 

[Track Basher]

Very wise thinking. Your are along the right lines but the wrong conclusion drawn.

 

[ole man]

Grimsby Docks

 

[Track Basher]

None of the guesses have been anywhere near but Muggys thinking is good.

 

[ole man]

Near Reading then?? Foster Yeoman at Wooton Bassett

 

[Temple Meads]

Didcot?

 

[blackettstreet]

dewsbury?

 

[Track Basher]

All miles away.

You are nowhere near.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Very wise thinking. Your are along the right lines but the wrong conclusion drawn.

You're not about to say it is in fact Dunfermline Townhill are you?!

 

[ole man]

Glasgow Polmadie?

 

[Track Basher]

It is not DT but that is the closest so far. You are correct they are Class 06s.
