No. 9: Gerrard's Cross looking north. I think we might have that front window frame in our heritage yard.

No.9 - Correct
Photograph taken in 1971.  Gerrards Cross looking towards High Wycombe.  At this time Gerrards Cross still had its two main lines with separate Up and Down platform loops in typical GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) early 1900s style.  The goods yard to the right had closed although one of the sidings was retained as an Up Refuge Siding (the remainder became the station car park).  Gerrards Cross signalbox was closed on 10 August 1990 and the area resignalled and controlled from Marylebone IECC▸ (Integrated Electronic Control Centre) (Integrated Electronic Control Centre).

Would they have lower quadrant signals and a chocolate and cream sign on the opposite platform in Scotland?

Probably not - but it looks remarkably similar!

Maybe somewhere in Wales but then there were a lot of GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) stations in Wales.

No 10 is bugging me.  Doesn't look like anywhere on the South Wales main line - the hill is all wrong and the layout is too rural.  Doesn't have the look of the Valleys.  Not the North Wales Coast as if the mountains are on the left the sea is on the right.  Not Conwy Valley.  Cambrian Coast with hills on the left has sea on the right too.  No hills that high in Pembrokeshire.  Not Heart of Wales.

Bugging me too ... I'm thinking around Abergavenny / Brecon / up to Moat Lane, and I'm wondering about the Ruabon to Dolgelly line too.  Don't think it's Carmarthen to Aberystwyth, but you never know.

Still remarkably similar to Achnasheen!

Porthmadog.  They are the vans for the explosives shipped from there I think.
