Get rid of the Great Western lower quadrant semaphore and with not too much imagination this could be a 'Merchant Navy' bursting out of Buckhorn Weston Tunnel on the London & South Western main line near Gillingham. The fact its that it is a Merchant Navy, and one making it's inaugural public run following being saved from Dai Woodhams scrap yard as a heavily cannibalised wreck in 1983. No. 35006 'Peninsular & Orient S.N. Co.' was moved to Toddington on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway from Woodhams, and the long drawn out restoration has continued since. After a renaming ceremony at Toddington the Bulleid-Pacific then worked it's first public train for shareholders to Cheltenham Racecourse, and is seen on the return journey working out of Greet Tunnel on the approach to Winchcombe station on 16th May 2016.

Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.

DLE30254 pulls away from Hendon Quadrant on a cold but crisp day. For me it was a 240 to Mill Hill Broadway and train home. 17.11.25.
The three-faced clock which used to stand in the middle of the Quadrant shopping centre. If I remember correctly, in its final years it functioned better as a work of art than as a timepiece.
This view show Times Furnishing, a name long-gone from retailing. I think this is where New Look is now located.
The slide (taken by my father) I scanned this from is dated January 1969, and judging from the coloured light-bulbs and Salvation Army band was probably taken in December 1968.

I started with an original "Quadrant Kaleidoscope" and further manipulated the image with the GIMP software, using Filters --> Distorts --> Kaleidoscope. I vary the preset settings to achieve a different effect with 4 or more reflections.
