    The left hand stock rail looks a trifle curved, so probably a well-used point in need of a little TLC...

    Someone (wide load?) has not-so-neatly folded the edge of the second sign round its supporting (lamp?) post... A34 to M4 and turn right...

    Still hankering for a shovel and a few tons of best S.Wales black stuff...?

    IIRC BR(S) EMUs were still being outshopped new and after overhaul with the purple underframe paint into 1974. In most cases it also was applied to the bogie frames...

    Where's the 'groan' button?

    Delivered in a skip so that you can immediately redirect the delivery to the local landfill...

    Not if they (as all governments are liable to) go for the 'lowball' quote (to use an Americanism)...
  8. talisman56
    Shameless - not even a 'coat, hat, exit'...

    Presumably they only put it on when it wasn't likely to be removed by person or persons unknown... ?

    Well if they hadn't weathered the windows as well...
  14. talisman56
    Certainly. Last time I was in the rush-hour queue for the roundabout on the the bridges, I was looking at the tavern building and a roof tile slid off...

    Lovely picture of the curved scissor crossing in C6304...

    With a Mk1 catering vehicle (RU?) (RKB?)...

    Interesting shade of black...

    Photo-bombed by a 'Sheba' 4Sub in green with small yellow panel...

    ...presumably a take on the old Ron Pickering commentary 'Colemanball': While describing an 800m race Ron Pickering said: 'And there goes Juantorena down the back straight, opening his legs and showing his class'. Unfortuntely over time it has been mistakenly attributed to David Coleman...

    Quite possibly they retained the ownership of the land to prevent anyone excavating/drilling through to the crown of the tunnel...

    All sorts of images flew through my mind then, until I remembered this is a railway forum...
  22. talisman56
    Having lived near, and used HH for commuting to London, I am shocked at that monstrosity that has replaced the Goods Yard I knew...
  23. talisman56
    A bit out of gauge, though...
  24. talisman56
    Peco's next pointwork offering?
  25. talisman56
