11 is, I suspect in Scotland. The wooden choo-choo has been seen at Montrose, but not sure if it's Montrose in the picture.

I fear the forum membership may require clues for others. And you say the next batch are harder?!

Well ... we would expect lots of Scotand from FlyingScotsman.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to have a different type of quiz next rather than straight into a second batch? I find these "where is this" quizzes wonderful fun, (so many THANK YOUs for this one!) and they work really well with a breathing space for something else between. I know that BigNoseMac has something different coming up - shall we go for that next, then the next batch from FlyingScotsman's travels of which I'm slightly envious  Wink .

Now I think it is time to give some clues,

Two Pictures are from Scotland.....the wooden train, and the picture with the name blanked out on it...........which starts with a P and ends with a N

Any thoughts?

I see 15 is still blank my third go is Southall but I'm not confident?

It looks so like stations as far as Hayes on the GWML (Great Western Main Line). If it's not Southall then it's anywhere on the ex NSE (Network South East) 25Kv network as the stop mark has NSE flashes.!

So I have had some guesses at picture number 15, sorry to you both, The Trout & Eightf48544 you are wrong.... Yes is was in a former Network Southeast area.......

I think I will have to give a slight clue to this one...it is quite hard......

Clue 1. It is a type of weather that falls from the sky, that is the second part of the name....and they used to say ".... Caesar" as he walked past.
           The first name could be liked to A.V.B. so come on you railway sports fans...where is it......?

Now this station in Scotland picture number 21...well Graham.....yes it does start with a P and it ends in N......but not this one...sorry

So a clue....... well clue one... it has two words in the title, so it is P........ ...N      and the last word is not a city,    it is a ...n


If you get this one correct you will be flying your way to the rest of the answers, I think!!
