Running down fast into Christmas, so a few more random pictures….

Modelling challenges.  The loco comes from France, circa 1880.  I think that it can stay there!

The Pacific Electric Railway is such an interesting prototype.  Here’s the LA Central Station with a load of parcels units….

North Hollywood remains a great favourite….

And Culver Junction in colour (or should it be color?)

More local, Elmstead Woods in the snow in 1991. (Probably a John Atkinson photo.)  The nearby tunnel is interesting as it is barely below ground.  It was constructed as a tunnel rather than a cutting to satisfy the local landowner when the line was built.  My secondary school long cross-country run route (to be avoided if at all possible) passed through the woods close to one of the tunnel portals.

For the bus enthusiasts, some real buses.  The 94, when extended beyond Petts Wood to Orpington was one of two to get to secondary school.  Just a 2d half, I recall!

This is probably my festive season summed up in a meme….
