Title: A picture quiz.........
Post by: Mookiemoo on April 19, 2012, 19:40:09
All of the following were taken out and about on various rail trips I've been on recently.  Usual rules apply - one guess per person per 24 hours......and an extra bonus point (not that its worth anything) to those who can tell me which trips I was doing when some of them were taken. And which notable scenic route is connected but not appearing.

1. Perth - TerminalJunkie

14. Fort William

I think I know the bonus points, but perhaps best if a few more pictures are guessed first?

My guesses are:

7. Colwall Tunnel in the direction towards Malvern Wells Signal box

10. Huntly which is between Inverness and Aberdeen

8. The ticket office at Mallaig

12. Elgin - between inverness and aberdeen

13. Aviemore in the up direction between perth and inverness

15. Tulloch

16. The bell at the platform end at Inverness - and if you were close enough to look at the barber - you could turn around and look at the bell

I know the answers cos I took the pictures!  but Mookie says thank you for your interest...
