Left hand side of 5. seems to have DC▸ third rail. Big layout so I’m guessing Victoria in transition.
It does, indeed have some third rail ... but not Victoria. Third Rail is / was surprisingly wide spread - not only South London but some North London stuff too, Merseyside and the North East. |

I couldn’t think of anything in north London with so many DC tracks, but Victoria was a total guess in any case. What looks like a wooden platform on the right might help someone I think? |

Last time I saw that many double slips in third rail country was this morning coming into London Waterloo.

Not Waterloo (if that was actually a guess!). Not Liverpool Exchange. Sorry, Gents.

Can I go back to my earlier suggestion and add “east of Manchester” to Victoria?  |

You are correct, it is NOT London Bridge. |

Just going back to 6, the locomotive looks like the nose of a Deltic.

It does, indeed have some third rail ... but not Victoria. Third Rail is / was surprisingly wide spread - not only South London but some North London stuff too, Merseyside and the North East. We're running out of options! Or hints, come to that, so let's try the one that's left: Newcastle Central, at the end of the bays used by the LNER» electrics. So it's just before what's seen in no. 4, but now largely a car park. |

I’m sure it’s too straight for Newcastle East End, IIRC▸ nearly all the bays had a route towards the high level bridge curving to the right immediately at the platform ends, and the route towards Manors was also curved to the left. |

It's not Newcastle Central. It probably is too straight for that. When I put this quiz up, I suspected that this one would not go quickly, though it's a set of tracks I have travelled through many, many times. |

Let's drop the 24 hour rule - does anyone who's already identified somewhere correctly know where this is??
