  5. But these productions cost a lot of money so why not get it right ?
  6. Period drama things need to be correct I expect the costumes to be correct so why not the trains? After all it was set in the 1880s so if a motor car appeared are we going to complain Paulus ?
  7. My wife's ex husband's garden backs on to the railway at Barrow about 50 yards to the south of the bridge. The bridge also gives access to Barrow upon Soar station. But I couldn't get near enough to get any photos Reason for being there today? feed the cat,chickens & tortoises.
  8. #15 Sacrilege no excuse. Could have renumbered & renamed one of the preserved castles & kept them in green
