Im on the train home from Pendon. If they run another one PLEASE GO. It's BRILLIANT!

 

I will give you a quick taster here and let you know when I've processed some more. These are from my smartphone.

I thought it was because Roye England came from Australia.

I think you should get out more.

 

I took your advice and did get away for a few days and "discovered" a 26 arch viaduct which I knew nothing about:

 

 

Unfortunately there were no spectacular or unusual loco combinations performing on the day. This picture is from a few years ago, but the scene could be repeated if certain long term plans ever come to fruition. Where is it?

Maroon rolling stock it must be LMS stock on a Crewe, Liverpoool or Machester service

Broadway in the Cotswolds ?

[Northroader]

Coalbrookdale, the "coke hearth" end. Tight curve and steep gradient here as well.

That would be great, but I didn't realise you were going

to back date ANTB to the pre Great War era!

(BTW I think it's actually called Crimson Lake!)

I don't think sheep are as horny as rhinos.

[Waraqah]

Where's the "I haven't got a clue what you're talking about" button when you need it? 

[Captain Kernow]

That's just wrong on every level.

Oh, I don't know.

Haven't we seen this lot somewhere else?

OK, so it's not where I initially thought it was (someone else posted the correct location before I had put anything up), but the overall scene does remind me quite a lot of Frampton Mansell on the Swindon to Gloucester line, just down from Sapperton Tunnel on the Chalford side.
