It has a Dalmatian/Montenegran coastline look to it

The background is Malham Cove in Yorkshire from whence only a few centuries ago dropped a higher waterfall than Niagra - according to Alfred Wainwright! The views from the limestone pavement on top are magnificent.

Chris - To enthusiasts of a certain age, "The Plant" means the Doncaster steam loco factories. However, the picture looks nothing like Doncaster - more like somewhere on the mid-Hants railway [going by the heathland surrounding the place].
Could the main pic be Hainault?

It seems to me Chris that the map you need is the fold-out "London" map that LT produced around 1962. I have one and leaving aside minor details like the absence of the Vic and Jub lines and the LHR extension, it shows the positions of stations superimposed on a real map of London. It also does the same for the BR lines in London.
In an ideal world, TfL would update the map but ......
Technically, I am informed that the LT "map" is actually a chart rather than a map as it doesn't show the relationships of places to the land - It only shows how to get from A to B. Hence the "London" map is actually a map rather than a Beck-like chart.

In that case, the logical place for her to be would be on the Clyde on the site of the John Brown shipyard where her older namesake was built

A1 is Queen Mary 2 - It looks like she tied up alongside near Rosyth in the Forth of Firth

Shades of "Minority Report" if the adverts change depending on whose mobile is near the advert screen at the time!

inset B - Battersea Park Peace Pagoda?

Post by arun on Feb 10, 2017 11:24:24 GMT
It looks like a train ascending or descending into a tunnel alongside a 25kV line - I'm inclined to think that it is alongside the WCML so Queens Park would be my guess.

Abbey Road was a regular attender at the Easter Depot open weekend. Another possibility is Steve Smith's "London Road" which did have a large number of scratchbuilt ESLs, road and rail LT service vehicles and even the odd small CLR steam loco. Steve is/was on the staff at Neasden. Another possibility, which I never saw at Acton but certainly was on the model railway show circuit, was called Walford and again that employed LT road and rail vehicles.

I know our esteemed quizmasters can change colours but the tram inset reminds me more of Wimbledon than Snow Hill.

The bridge arch in C reminds me of Tottenham Hale [the BR bit rather than the LT station]

Inset B is: "On 7 April 2006, a memorial was inaugurated in Oslo, near the Akershus Fortress. It features a mother with her child and a large commemorative plaque with the names of all the victims of the fire" [on MS Scandinavian Star - which had more names in its sad life than you could shake a stick at].
However, I am at a loss to determine any connection with either LT, TfL or LOROL.
Inset C is on the Mid Hants Railway - I think - possibly Arlesford.

How about North of Acton Town just by where the path/road to the LT Museum Depot diverges

Regrettably I won't be able to make it as the Reading 0gauge trade show has shifted dates from 3 Dec to 10 Dec.
Have a great day!

As you do at Exeter for Paddington and Waterloo [/quote]
Very slightly closer to London than Exeter, You can get a train from Weybridge to Waterloo from two adjacent platforms and set off travelling in opposite directions.

I think that the reason was that many early diesels were designed to work in multiple and were therefore fitted with nose doors. To allow crews moving from one engine to another, they would have needed a certain amount of wiggle [or is it wriggle] room.
