Title: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018. Post by: JayMac on November 10, 2018, 01:32:18 It's been a fair old while since I've compiled such a quiz. A combination of a PC being in bits and problems with picture hosting on Photobucket. With surprisingly little hassle I've managed to put together a large selection - all resized, edited and uploaded using my phone.
The selection comprises photos taken at a variety of rail related locations, both on the national network and at heritage/former sites. All from my archive of images from the past 10 years. Some may have appeared before on this forum, and some may be more difficult than others. Please respect the usual forum rule for such quizzes: One guess each for the first 24 hours 1.

Title: Re: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018. Post by: chuffed on November 11, 2018, 09:29:41 Finn would be barking mad, if he heard you call him that !
Title: Re: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018. Post by: JontyMort on November 11, 2018, 09:36:54 I think 18 is Windsor and Eton Riverside. Correct! I originally thought it was Central - hence my earlier reference to being terminally confused. Excellent picture, incidentally. 33 looks to be on a still-open line - there's a station name in the background - and we were given the clue that it has been there since 1900. So that may point to a GWR cut-off or the GC or Joint? Title: Re: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018. Post by: Red Squirrel on November 11, 2018, 11:21:31 Aha - I think it's 24 hrs since my last crack so here goes: No.7 is lovely, lovely Sheffield Park. Dangit, just spotted that others have beaten me to it.
Title: Re: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018. Post by: JayMac on November 11, 2018, 13:19:34 28 looks like Melksham prior to the platform extension work Correct. If there's a Taunton there has to be a Melksham! 7. Sheffield Park 32. Chard Central ? Both correct! I'm assuming you meant 31 for Chard Central. 10 - Ipswich Correct! 24. Tenterden Town, Kent & East Sussex Railway Correct! Title: Re: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018. Post by: JayMac on November 11, 2018, 13:24:58 A great challenge. Thanks and Well done.

So that may point to a GWR cut-off or the GC or Joint? Neither of those. Although it has been 'Great' in the past, and is 'Greater' today. Title: Re: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018.

Title: Re: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018. Post by: stuving on November 11, 2018, 15:58:10 33: Hoveton (& Wroxham)

11. Add an 'h' and we're not in Cornwall. 29. We are in Cornwall. 30. Can you make a Money Claim Online here? Title: Re: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018. Post by: stuving on November 11, 2018, 17:37:38 33: Hoveton (& Wroxham) Correct! Former Great Eastern, now Greater Anglia. I think strictly that should have been either Wroxham (the name on the other end of the signal box, and of the Bure Valley Railway station) or Hoveton (the nearest part of the town of Wroxham is the village of Hoveton that it has now engulfed) but not both. Hoveton & Wroxham is the name of the GA station, but the signal box now belongs to its own trust, not to Network Rail nor to the Bure Valley Railway. It has also been moved, by a few feet, as it obstructed the sighting of one of the new signals that replace its own ones. Surely there must be a simpler way of solving that problem, with some kind of extra signal ... Title: Re: Bumper picture quiz - November 2018.
