SECR Photo P.
A 4-4-0 passes Offham Box.
SECR Photo P Feedback 1:
The point rodding in the foreground confirms this is a signal box and
not just a crossing keeper's house.
SECR Photo P Feedback 2:
Loco is of class G, originally built by Neilson for the GNSR (the same
type as LNER class D40 "Gordon Highlander") but the
order was cancelled after construction had begun and the SECR bought
them as a stop-gap.
SECR Photo Q.
An unknown junction station.
SECR Photo Q Feedback 1:
The loco to the right of the platform belongs to the LBSCR. The
station name appears to consist of two words on different lines on the
name board.
SECR Photo Q Feedback 2:
Location believed to be Hastings station, which was used by trains from
the LBSCR.
SECR Photo Q Feedback 3:
It is Hastings.
SECR Photo R.
This is presumed to be luggage sent in advance to a holiday destination
on the SECR.
SECR Photo R Feedback:
The location could also be in the London area, for instance with an
influx of luggage in advance in connection with the students at Dulwich
College.
SECR Photo S.
An unidentified station, but the signalbox beyond the platform may help
to identify it.
The locomotive appears to be a Westinghouse brake fitted 2-4-0
SECR Photo S Feedback:
An ex-LCDR locomotive. The location may be Brixton, Elephant &
Castle, Herne Hill or Loughborough Junction.
SECR Photo T.
A 4-4-0 with train. The fourth and fifth vehicles have clerestory
roofs and are of somewhat American appearance, so are assumed to be
Pullman cars. The signal has a round dot on the signal arm, instead
of the later vertical white stripe, and the spectacle glasses are
mounted slightly below the arm. The ballast is raised to about the
level of the bottom of the rails, so that the sleepers cannot be seen.
SECR Photo T Feedback:
None.
