Inset 3 is a rack locomotive. Other than that all I can say is that it is not in the UK.

No one guessed at the station... so the clue is: (click for a larger version) phillw48 is right, that it's not in the UK... and I don't know what RHDR is but it's not mentioned in the answer file, so you can also have a clue: (click for a larger version) I am reliably informed by our esteemed quiz master, that progressingnicely gets the points for Inset 1 and 2 though. The additional info provided for Inset 1 is: " The photo was taken from the north bank of the Tyne, between the High Level Bridge and Queen Elizabeth II Metro Bridge, which is slightly downstream of the Redheugh Bridge. " Inset 1: Newcastle Quayside [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Inset 2: Eros, Piccadilly Circus [Chris M] (click for a larger version)

Is the main Stanmore by any chance? ;D

+1 for Stanmore
The inset - there's something about that picture that suggests it might possibly be the Mount Washington Railway in New Hampshire?
(RHDR probably meant Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway - a less likely candudate for a rack system would be hard to imagine).

Oops, I may have just realised I made a bit of an error when posting the clues last night as well... Deep Level gets the main points: Main photograph: Stanmore - bench (in ticket hall?) [londonstuff] (click for a larger version) norbitonflyer gets the sub points. Inset 3: Biodeisel Locomotive powered by a John Deere Powertech 6125H at the Mount Washington Cog Railway New Hampshire.

Is there a bonus point for saying when the Mt Washington Railway was built? ;D

Some of those shingle ridges can be quite steep...
