    Hi Neil,
    An overlapping selection of locations
    3/83 Honiton Bank
    6/83 West of Pirbright Jn . he wall of the Basingstoke Canal is in the background.
    8/83 Agreed as Wimbledon, the skyline hasn't changed mych
    9/83 Agreed, Southampton
    10/83 I would say Loco Jn as the pointwork is a bit complex for Vauxhall and I think the flats still exist opposite Linfor ST flyover.
    30/83 Definitely Wareham
    21/83 North of Beaulieu Road
    49/83 Loco Jn flats etc.

    Cheers, Neil

    172/224 looks like Bournemouth to me from the station roof and the coaling crane .
    180/224 running in board looks like New Milton
    214& 216/224 possibly could be Vaggs Lane Bridge Sway/New Milton area from the tight bridge, but not sure.
