It's been a fair old while since I've compiled such a quiz. A combination of a PC being in bits and problems with picture hosting on Photobucket. With surprisingly little hassle I've managed to put together a large selection - all resized, edited and uploaded using my phone.

The selection comprises photos taken at a variety of rail related locations, both on the national network and at heritage/former sites. All from my archive of images from the past 10 years. Some may have appeared before on this forum, and some may be more difficult than others.

Please respect the usual forum rule for such quizzes:

One guess each for the first 24 hours

1. Vivary Park, obligatory Taunton. grahame


2. Old Oak Common. Rob on the hill


3. Parkend, Dean Forest Railway. AMLAG

Excellent quiz.   Usual rule for quiz setters too .... "One must be a picture at Taunton" and I think indeed it's No. 1.

Sorry, no.

I'll let incorrect guessers have another go without waiting 24 hours.
