    Bring Back the Trains!

    A random collection of railway photos - from modern, heritage and even some long abandoned lines.
  2. From the album: Bring Back the Trains!

    Look for the place with the stone archway entrance to the left of the escalater - (which was out of service...) Now a currency exchange kiosk. In the days before next day deliveries to your home address, the Parcel Office at London Victoria would have been as busy and bustling as the rest of the station.

  7. 15 years later, and the link to the Chemicool site still works. Well, I'm glad something does, anyway!!
  8. I love the Buddleia. But what's all that about an abandoned platform? The Watercress Line trains are still running into Alton, I sincerely hope?

  16. Ah... Well, at least I am lucky in that respect. Jenny and Michelle are both a lot better artists than I am!
  17. I used to love rough and heavy hand-made watercolour papers for my pastels... I wonder if my kids have left me any, after three years away from the Philippines? (...'Find out when I finally get back there!)
  18. Lovely painting. And I agree with you... A lot of people prefer to choose their own frame or mounting. Nice!
