So if Ive just done an image in paint how do I get other people to see it?

Why was there such a large canopy at the front of the old station?

So thats what they use the royal train for these days!
Gold lettered siphons anybody?

Gong back to the tram video, how do the points change the direction of a tram? I have stared at the remaining tramtracks at temple meads , but I cannot see any moving parts. This makes me think there is a way of controlling the bogie, or is the cheap cider doing its job?

I was caught up in the carnage from that tipper lorry falling over, I could not
for the life of me understand how he managed that. If it turns out he was distracted by a cyclist flying above his cab into his eyeline, it all becomes clear.

Mine, too, just now.

Saw the thread on here sunday morning and applied for 11.08, got the email

I know the midland ran excursions to svb so i can justify a black 5,and there was mention on here of metro tanks in ...

Thanks for all of this, I think the important point here is the signal box itself,has control over the local area that the train is in,and what was confusing me initially is the modern experience of automatic signals being tripped as they are passed.
In my case of 1940-55 it would seem the distants ...

Thanks for the input,the signal box was one of the places visited .
It confirms the case of a combined home/distant returning to level together
when the train passes,which would imply that a lone distant when passed would not continue to mirror the relevant home signal.however,in the case of a long ...
