A single part question today, with several bonus points up for grabs.  *Click for a larger version* For ease the insets are numbered 1 to 5 left to right on the top row, and 6 on the bottom row. |

I seem to recall a wall of telephones like that at Hounslow West. Fourth inset from the left, top row, could be Quainton Road (Bucks Railway Centre). Bottom centre inset looks like Cutty Sark (pre-fire).

Second Inset from the left appears to be 'The City Barge' near Gunnersbury where we held one of the early forum meets.

Inset 4 is Kingscote, Bluebell Railway, looking South. Visiting Met. Rly No 1, with resident Metropolitan Ashbury coaches - one of the best trains on a preserved railway.

The detail I have of this one is Chesham Set and Met number 5, Bluebell Railway. Please note that this picture was not taken by Chris M, however the contribution was anonymous. |

You've earned yourself a bonus point for that, well done. |

Dmitri has just reminded me that nobody got inset one - one of his photos. So, to give him credit where it is due, it is a "Tower in the wall of the Joseph-Volokolamsk Monastery, Moscow region, Teryaevo, 09.08.2008. Useless trivia: once famous, nowadays little known place."
