This is an occasional quiz. Can you help to identify these photographs? The editor is perplexed why his younger self failed to keep proper records!
If you can identify anything here, please contact the editor who will be pleased to hear from you. Unsolved mysteries remain at the top of the page, those solved move down.
Thanks to those who have helped solve some of the mysteries.
Believed taken in May 1985, this depicts an unknown miniature railway. The locomotive's headboard merely states 'miniature railway' without advertising which one. Other photos on the film do not give any clues to location being mainly family events throughout the year.
Believed taken in August 1984, this depicts an unknown disused station. It is probably somewhere in Devon (or, less likely, Somerset or Cornwall).
Dated August 1986, this view shows DMU vehicle 54195 waiting at Scarborough; in the centre, mail bags are transferred between Royal Mail van and station trolley and a class 08 shunter sits on the right. The shunter could be 08771.
This undated image shows Greaves Sidings signal box frame.
This is a 1989 view of a DMU at Aberdare station.
