5 is probably Crewe as you can see the signal plate CE prefix and it's not Carlisle. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

I reckon that 1 is Cotswold Line somewhere. Maybe Norton Junction? Although Cornwall is another option

So to confirm the ones people have got correct so far: 1: Filton Abbey Wood (Well done the man who was there with me at the time :whistle: ) 2: Bristol Temple Meads (Towards East Junction) 3: Bristol Temple Meads (platform 12) 5: Crewe (Drag Queen) That leaves four still unanswered.

" said:9 - A guess at Chester?Not Chester And saying that is like saying it's between Newton Abbot and Exeter St Davids. Surely someone can be more specific.

Between Lands End and John O Groats? I am reliably informed the Pendo is standing at Holyhead. I know that the 158 is either in the ATW area or Northern Rail area. It looks like either 16 or 18 so that doesn't help me at all. It's somewhere in England and Wales.  To be honest, although it probably is in the ATW area, it doesn't look like it is as it isn't hilly enough and the line speed is 55mph too high. :PBased on the track layout and comparing it to a text sim of Croess Newydd I believe that the 175 is approaching Wrexham General station.

9. Gloucester? This looks like an Arriva train. edit: the track layout does not match. @ lpeters: I think it's one of the ATW services extending into England - you were right about the hills and the linespeed. AJP in games Last edited: 31/08/2011 at 16:57 by Albert Log in to reply |
