Title: Can't see these on Dawlish anytime soon.......... Post by: RailCornwall on February 20, 2009, 18:35:26 (http://premium1.uploadit.org/ChrisCornwall3/News/japane5.jpg)
Straight out of the Lloyds Adverts, almost, the latest design from Japan. East Japan Railway unveiled the exterior and designs for its next generation of Shinkansen trains.

Included here because I happen to think it's a cracking piece of art, by surrealist Patricia van Lubeck. http://www.beinart.org/artists/patricia-van-lubeck/gallery/patricia-van-lubeck-5.jpg (http://www.beinart.org/artists/patricia-van-lubeck/gallery/patricia-van-lubeck-5.jpg) Title: Re: Can't see these on Dawlish anytime soon..........

*edit* I have removed the offending picture due to copyright issues. (Being an IT Engineer I should know better... :o ) However you can view the picture of a train getting absolutely soaked by going to Google Images and typing in Dawlish Sea Wall The picture should be the second image result ;) Apologies for breaking the rules :-X Title: Re: Can't see these on Dawlish anytime soon.......... Post by: grahame on February 21, 2009, 08:09:58 Fascinating pictures ... but I have been reminded of copyright and hot linking issues. :-\
The forum agreement (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=1761.0) that everyone signs up to on joining says "You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material." And 'hot linking' is where you add in an image URL from another site which you don't look after - we do not explicitly restrict this in our agreement as you're welcome to do it if you have copyright clearance, but it does (a) allow that other site owner to discover how you're using his/her pictures and (b) allow him/her if he/she so chooses to substitute any other image at any time.
