Thank you so much Nick.

Apart from the mix of teak coaches and a Southern region locomotive, it could have been 70 years ago. As for the sheep, well, here they are in winter! www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/46411926

View large and drift back to a quieter and more understanding world,
Terrific shot Peter.

Thank you Roger

You are right. From here you can hear the locomotive starting off from Hampton Loade station, and labouring its way up the gradient, just as many a steam locomotive has done for over a hundred years!

Hi Peter,

A superb scene with so much in it that we love! It really does give a feeling of a slower life and such tranquillity.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Thank you so much Rosa

Yes, even the sheep are contentedly eating grass, not worried by the passing train...
I am sure life was so peaceful in those days...

Hello Peter what a lovely shot indeed and one i seem to remember from Pano ?

Saved in fav's for sure with a YS

Best wishes ... Steve

Wonderful shot!
A few years ago I had friends at Button Oak and we used to drink at the pub in Arley where this railway has a station (from memory). I don't recall if this railway line had been restored then (it would have been in the years around 1988-93).
Best wishes,
Andy

Thank you so much Steve

As always, your visit is most welcome. Of course you are right, it was posted on Pano, but I decided to resurrect in to go with 'Repton' as in the hyperlink above. I might even have one of Stowe.somewhere. I'll keep looking!. (probably in print, not digital)

Hi Andy,

Thank you! I remember we had talked before about your friend at Button Oak. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the railway was operational at that time. (I have a picture in a book dated 1979)... If you are really interested I have a Severn Valley Railway album, but it could do with a lot more of the ex-Pano pictures adding.

Best Wishes
Peter

Quelle si merveilleuse composition….je suis sous le charme ***************

Hi Danielle

Merci beaucoup pour votre visite. Je suis heureux que tu aimes notre jolie campagne. J'ai aussi quelques photos de train à vapeur de France. Je suppose que je devrais les ajouter à ipernity aussi. Les locomotives à vapeur ont une certaine magie partout!

Meilleurs voeux, et un bon week-end,

Peter

My dear Peter,

What can I say!!!
Maybe no need for the words...
We have many memories , many pictures and more...

A big YS!
