Garden Railway Forum

Peter is close...it's a Garratt, but Rik is spot on, hole in one. Well done indeed.
Sadly not in steam because they only steam her for weekends, bank hols and school hols. The other one is out of service whilst they try to raise £5K for a new boiler - they are about halfway on that.

Well done Rik, I stood no hope on that one as I have no knowledge of miniature lines, but I know you do!

It was a lucky guess. Thanks to Zach, I was treated to a cab ride in that loco - though I'm not sure that helped me identify it from the photo

I don’t think I am going to be able to disguise this from any of you by any means other than heavy cropping, but… snapped this afternoon: where?

Brecon Mountain Railway?

Lynton & Barnstaple?

Neither correct, I’m afraid.

Here’s this morning’s. Not the same railway as the previous one.

Talyllyn?

I have another guess at the first one, was it at WHHR?

The railway or the loco? Not that you’d be wrong in either case, just being careful not to confirm something you hadn’t guessed

Not correct, but considerably warmer…

Yes, I should've been more specific, Talyllyn at Talyllyn. (The question was where, right?)

I'm out of guesses on the other one... Seems a bit american-ish but aside from that I'm stumped. We're leaving on a little trip of our own today, more on that later.

Going by the track I'd say one of the Garrats on the WHR

Correct and correct. I know we’ve had the railway more than once already, but I don’t think anyone had posted No. 1.

Bingo! NG130.

Don't want to be a spoilsport or anything But isn't this for anything other than railway related, like music, sport and such like...Just saying.....

Looking at the photos though, unless it's got a view of a station or something like that, I wouldn't have a clue looking at loco wheels and valves and things that are particular to a loco.

I'am thick I know.

I did recognise the photo of Caernarfon with the Garratt, we saw it last year there, beautiful loco. We also saw a Black 5 there too, it was massive...

No, not really Rod.
Certainly those things are specifically included for clarification, but they are not exclusive. Because the forum is aimed at Garden Railway modelling, a light hearted real railway quiz, is definitely " Off topic" since it has nothing to do with model making.

Your'e correct Phillip and I agree about the little quiz, but you haven't put my other write up and it makes it look like I am against it, which I'am not.

Anyway guys, please put some photos up of stations or signs or something to that effect, at least then I would have some idea and get the question right....Maybe..

I misread what you wrote Rod, and thought you said "station signs" rather than "stations or signs". I thought, that would make it a bit easy eg. Anyway, maybe this one's a little bit harder to pin down precisely...

Oh heck Simon I haven’t got a clue

There are signs on the stations and other stuff aren’t the. Post boxes, phone boxes. Static stuff like porters carts, stationer's etc etc ….. I probably wouldn’t know where they are or what they were required for, but I would have a go, it would be a laugh anyway for you guys when I get something completely wrong.

Can’t wait to get it wrong Simon..

This is a where was I? Rik
