    No truth in the rumours that the bloke in charge of all 3 needed to stand under the water column at Keighley Peter? ;):)
    In all seriousness that’s an impressive sight, and I can’t imagine there’s going to be a ‘let’s just bugger off down the pub’ upon arrival is there?

    Would that be for your Box Brownie or 127, Sir?

    At the risk of thread drift.
    Don't have a box brownie only the plastic 127, but I do have the one on the right - a similar Warwick No 2 camera (no jokes please) apparently made in Birmingham c 1930.
    So basic !

    I think some of us are giving our age away here - I don't suppose that the youfs on this thread knew what we were on about until you showed them Scott.

    And as the final"LE Movements, ECS and test runs 2023" have now taken place I think a bit of thread drift is permissable.

    Here's to the first moves of 2024

    I bought a Brownie 127 in 1959 (I still have it!) and got some real cra...., err, memorable photos with it. Happy days. :)

    What's the location here, I feel like I recognise it but I can't think where it is.

    The first photo has a bit of a clue in it, you just need to look closely ;)
    Alan can you please put us out of our misery with where the locations are? I have a feeling the second one is somewhere like Oxenholme? No idea regarding the third.

    The location of the second photo is Lancaster Castle station and the third one is Wigan North Western.

    Wigan must have seen a lot of us with 127s back then, I wish the negative was better. This can't have been long before 70017 came to grief at Carlisle.

    Thank you, it was the third one specifically that was bothering me. And yes, somewhere I've been but not loads, hence sort-of recognising it. I was struggling to think of places I'd been, that a Coronation would have gone and that I wouldn't immediately recognise.

    Looking at the label on the front does one assume that you take this out with you in case the battery of Number 1 camera fail at the wrong moment ?
