Hi Erhard,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am so happy that you like the scene. Apparently, this is England smallest station.
I did find a youtube clip about it too....
What a lovely shot Peter .. great details when viewed full size for sure ... the cobbled road looks somewhat of a slip hazard in the wet weather here .
Glad you have enjoyed it.
This was towards the end of the day, as the rain set in. I was looking for close up shots, particularly where I could wait in the dry, and the signal box was ideal.. The two gentlemen in there were great.
The cobbled street did look slippy (and probably was), but I had no problem driving up it. (OK, I still have the winter tyres on from Germany in December, and they do grip very well...)
Perfect composition, and would you just take a look at that GORGEOUS engine!! WOO HOO, what a beauty!! :) I love the combo of the black w red engine and the red and cream building. Fantastic. I used to work for a calendar company as a graphic designer and this is the sort of picture I'd use for one of the months. Outstanding. :)
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic visit and your wonderful comments. I am very happy that you think it worth of inclusion onto a calendar!
The rectangular building is the signal box, and you can see the inside of it in the link above.
The locomotive does get around a bit.. It was waiting patiently in siding on the Severn Valley railway when the locomotive I was on passed it.. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/44664808 and of course it was in the shed that morning.https://www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48300048 .
What you can't clearly see in the picture is the second locomotive, 45596 'Bahamas', ( www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48369350 ) just behind it.
This is beautifully framed and good to get the 'Beware of Trains' sign in! I love the fence and path to the left. Just like so many stations I have been to, especially in the 1960's.
Thank you so much for visiting, and your kind comments. I am really pleased that you found so much in it. The path to the left is actually the 'road' serving the station, and as Steve has suggested, is rather steep. Have you ever visited this station on your travels?
Thank you so much for your wonderful visit here. Unfortunately we never got to visit here in 2012, but I hope this picture makes up for it. I can certainly see the resemblance to Highley.. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/43577350 which of course is a very special station...!!
Love Peter
