Well, I know where the photo was taken, and the railway company concerned..... Just can't get the direction.hussra:64996 wrote:Neither, really.

I've found the building on Street View too...
Sod it: in front of the building.

It is indeed Augher. (Is it the goods shed? Not sure. I thought it was just a random building across the road and along slightly from the station building, with a sign that amused me!) The answer I was originally looking for was "backwards" (ref. the CVR's habit of always turning the locos to run cab-first).Marquis DeCarabas:65000 wrote:It's the goods shed at Augher on the Clogher Valley.
For those of you wondering "How the dickens did he get that", one cunning move would have been to Google the phone number on the sign.
And here is Augher station itself:

Yes, I figured you must have done so. Just outlining to everyone else (who has been suspiciously silent on this one) a possible strategy which would have solved it.Marquis DeCarabas:65002 wrote:..er... I *did* use a FWSE on the phone number, and I remembered the picture from somewhere.

The building does have that sort of look of having been designed by a depressed non-Conformist, doesn't it?Matt:65006 wrote:Is this in Wales?
This is complete guesswork as I have not identified the building - but the combination of two unconnected tramways and a railway suggests:Marquis DeCarabas:65005 wrote:Question to win.
What tramway was at A?
Bonus questions - which should help you identify this building.
What railway is off in the direction of B?
What unconnected tramway is off in the direction of C?
A=Gorseddau Junction and Portmadoc Railways
B=NWNGR/WHR
C=Nantlle Railway
Anywhere close?

Warm - especially if anyone manages to work out the function of the building.hussra:65042 wrote: The building does have that sort of look of having been designed by a depressed non-Conformist, doesn't it?
Wrong on all counts, as written, I'm afraid: but very close indeed. I suspect you're within about 12,000 Smoots.hussra:65042 wrote:A=Gorseddau Junction and Portmadoc Railways

Ah, I've got it. The building is Rhosydd Chapel, and therefore:
A=Conclog Tramway
B=Festiniog Railway
C=Croesor Tramway

C=Croesor Tramway

Correct, Richard. A terminated about 100 yards from C, but about 200' lower.
There's a story about some Croesor waggonery suddenly appearing at Tanygrisiau *without* going via Port and the World Famous. They must have been let down the path from the end of Rhosydd Floor 9 tips to the lower adit of Conglog.
A walk up Cwmorthin and over the bwlch to the top of Rhosydd incline is well worth it.
