Well 7 must be France (unless that train has slipped over a border somewhere). I have spent many hours waiting for trains at stations that looked just like that.

And as grahame's link shows, it's my home station of Callac  Grin

More photos from my own collection can be found here.

No "New Romney" nor "New Zealand" - sorry - but the rest are right in the last batch - Northern Spain, Callac and Finland.

5- On the basis of assuming there would not be two pictures from the same country next to one another, but the pick up truck and Fortis sign indicate North America - somewhere in Canada?

Stranger things have happened with pictures next to each other but, yes, this one is Cananada.

Open House / free for all ... past the first 24 hours.   

Just two countries left to identify, and just two more pictures which have a country but no place within the country set out.

Edit - now all completed.  See top of thread at http://www.passenger.chat/28622 for complete answers

12 is in South Africa, somewhere, but I can't find it currently in all Piet Conradies' videos. Metrorarail Cape Town?

Come on folks. You should know by now that grahame's picture quizzes nearly always contain a picture taken in Taunton. Tongue

11 is Taunton Model Engineers' dual gauge (3.5"/5") loop line in Vivary Park.

Here's bignosemac and his nephew having a ride.

Found it! Listed by Piet Conradies as "unidentifed", but someone else has said it's a magnetic flux leakage OLE (Overhead Line Equipment, more often "OHLE") tester. Seen at Bellville, Cape Town to Wellington line.
