I would say that the first inset is Ropley on the Watercress Line, The last inset [grey Peckett loco] is Bristol Harbour and the background is the Aldwych platforms at Holborn.

My first thought for the main picture was Down Street, not that I have visited that station.

Picture seems to have changed since yesterday. Is this crankshaft the missing picture 'A' for 7th March?

It's usually the locations I can't find.
This time it's the insets!

Picture seems to have changed since yesterday. Is this crankshaft the missing picture 'A' for 7th March? Yes. When creating the image today I accidentally misnamed it Mar06 rather than Mar07 and overwrote yesterday's image, both locally and on the server. I'll see what I can do to rectify this. Edit: Fortunately I have all the source images to I'll just have to recreate it as best I can, this will take a short while. |

OK, image recreated as best I can remember, if you're still seeing the portrait image with a crankshaft then refresh the page.
I'll leave this for a couple of hours before giving the answers.

So I missed this yesterday and was initially very confused because I didn't get to see the original image before it got temporarily replaced. Anyway, Inset 1 is Alresford.

Down Street closed long before the Piccadilly Line was extended westwards from Hounslow West. So why would it have a sign pointing out the platform required for its non-existent passengers?

Mysterious eh? Was there still a plan for trains to stop for very secret passengers? Or has the sign come from somewhere else to enliven the public tours of Down Street?

I'm sure I've seen inset 1 so I'm going to hazard a guess as to on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex.

Inset 1: Mid Hants Railway (Watercress Line) - Stop, look and listen at Alresford [ caravelle] (click for a larger version) Mysterious eh? Was there still a plan for trains to stop for very secret passengers? Or has the sign come from somewhere else to enliven the public tours of Down Street? I haven't been on the Down Street tour, but is it possible it's been put there for the benefit of maintenance workers? These days it would just be an ad hoc thing with little thought to style, but there was a time when all signage would have been made centrally to the corporate standards, regardless of intended audience. Maybe londonstuff or someone else who has been on that tour can enlighten us. |
