I've not checked your clues, but I believe number 11 is Dingwall.

You are correct!

It is
 
Is no 20 Telford? - Where can be found lots of historic hardware.

No, it isn't, I'm afraid

Aha - change of gauge clue - is 3 Aberystwyth (change for Vale of Rheidol) - my memory from 35 years ago is that the VOR platform was on the left facing the buffers?

No, actually it isn't.   A took a look at that answer and thought "huh?", but then turning up picture no. 3, I can see exactly why you made that suggestion.

I thought that Vicky had slipped up by not calling "VHF Omnidirectional Radio" until I read it again. Smiley

Now, what about No. 1? It isn't at a station, clearly, but I have a hunch that it's not far from Barcelona Sant Andreu Comtal.

Train on the right has just arrived from Limerick Junction ... and really should carry on to Rosslare Europort, but hasn't done so for 10 years. Long story, separate thread.

A guess for 14. Is this the "Fascinating place of historic hardware - far beyond just rail", being the Amberley Working Museum that is (or was when I was last there many years ago) full of historic hardware of all descriptions?

It isn't, I', afraid - but right clue for that final picture.   Enhanced clue - New station on existing line.
