The Blue Streak Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Westrail WCA type "Prospector" railcar at Forrestfield depot, Perth. W87017a.jpg That would have been a while ago Eddie. I haven't seen one of those for years. The last time I saw them they were just parked up in Kewdale I don't know what happened to them (I might look into it). I did a fair few trips to Merredin and Kalgoorlie "on the cushions" on them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAGR_WCA/WCE_class It Looks like one of the coaches from the Indian Pacific (Trans Australia) in the background.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted July 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) And the next photo will be have been taken on another European island cheers Do the British Isles count as European? If not, let''s reuse the original question with a caveat. A European Island that isn't part of the Britsh Isles.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted July 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 20, 2017 Do the British Isles count as European? Cheers, Mick Has Britain ever really been European? e.g. "Fog in Channel - Europe cut off" The fact that the population mainly consists of various waves of European Invaders: Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons/Jutes, Vikings/Danes, Normans (In reality yet more Vikings!) etc. etc. for some reason seems to have made the population somewhat Europe averse and insular.

EddieB Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I'm assuming that the British mainland isn't counted as a European island! Here's a local train departing from Samtens on the island of Rügen in Germany, with 143 203-8 propelling a couple of double-deck carriages. Rügen is an island in the Baltic (Ostsee): better known for the Rügensche Klieinbahn - one of the steam-worked narrow gauge lines of DDR times that passed straight into preservation; and for the transport museum at Prora - which has an impressive collection of locomotives and other vehicles as well as various small locomotives distributed around the island acting as signposts to the museum. There is a mainline from Berlin via Stralsund to a terminus and ferry port at Sassnitz (train ferry to Trelleborg in Sweden) and a branch terminating at Binz. Staying with the Baltic theme - how about a 4-6-4 or 4-6-4T steam locomotive - alive or dead - as the next subject?

Dd 596 in 1985 4-6-4T Dd 596 was the Final Engine of it's class Built for Suburban Passenger work by the WAGR. It was slated for restoration to mainline work but found to be beyond economic repair. (Dd592 was restored to mainline standards Instead) However 596 was cosmetically repaired in 1989 and now sits pride of place at the Gosnells Railway Markets. See it at the link http://www.australiansteam.com/Dd%20596.htm Next picture please to be of a restored or preserved signal cabin / box anywhere in the world. Inside or out, near a running line or not, doesn't matter. Edited July 21, 2017 by The Blue Streak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) This is the trackbed of an old quarry line which closed in the 1930s that went from I think where Levisham is now to Rosedale and Chimney Top in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors. I know the area very well from a certain country pursuit. Anyway, enough said. Next, something beer related. PS Sorry it's sideways on!

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted July 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2017 Is it that the location is incorrect or the fact that it is the route of a former quarry line or both? Where does that leave the challenge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is now preserved on the Cholsey & Wallingford railway. Next, let's go back a step in the production of alcohol - some bulk grain wagons please.
