Yes, and yes - just these two left: 5.  8.  Note my initial hint of 12 pictures but only 11 places. So which was the cat at? |

5 make me imagine an obscure rural branch line in Italy or Spain that no-one has dared to close. But I've no idea which one.

It looks like it, but it isn't. It's a line that closed in 1975 and re-opened 20 years later. |

8. Catford? Meows Cop? Litterhampton? I think perhaps the clue was confusing. It's a second picture at one of the places already indentified. 12 pictures, 11 places. |

The cat: The granites kerbs and pavoirs feel British and there isn't an awful lot left of Holt Junction so I will plump for Tondu. So a Welsh cath.

5. I think it would be nigh on impossible to identify the exact location of this image but I am reasonably confident that this is one of the preserved Fiat Littorina railcars in service on the Ferrovia Circumetnea line in Sicily.

Sorry - you are a l-o-n-g way away, geographically. No. 5 is the one picture I did not take ... |

It's just that the answer to the question "where did the Italians take their trains in the 1930s and then go away and leave them behind?" is Eritrea. |

Yes - Eritrea (and, yes, similar to the sort of thing on the round Etna railway). Ironically, the cat (picture no. 8 ) was from the round Etna railway - Randazzo. Having given the clue that it was one of the same places as the other pictures, I felt the tiles looked very much Meditteranean and someone would then guess it quickly. Clearly my feelings were wrong !! |
