The "bumpers" make it look like a european train.

The closest I have come is via "old swiss train"
I found this pic of a train at the jugenfraujoch between
Switzerland and Italy.

BUT, it's not the same train

glatt 12-17-2011 04:48 PM

Is it in Wales?

ZenGum 12-17-2011 04:53 PM

Double L at the start of a name says Wales.

The train can't be in Llandudno, because it's going there.

UT's reaction deters me from actually searching for this.

GunMaster357 12-17-2011 06:09 PM

I'd say Holyhead

Undertoad 12-17-2011 08:00 PM

I hate everybody and I always want my 45 minutes back.

TonyE 12-18-2011 06:17 AM

The train is not in Wales, it is on a scheduled service in England. The train company for some reason likes displaying Welsh locations on this train even though it does not go anywhere in Wales.

A clue: The number on the train will help, though it is only half of the number.

It's not 220034 and it's not in the Yorkshire area.

Well heck. I was sure, for a second there, that I was a genius! ;)

ARGHHHH...I've lost track of how much time I want back!

TonyE 12-18-2011 08:51 AM

Another little clue, it is not the first photograph of this station to appear in the Cellar.

GunMaster357 12-18-2011 01:16 PM

So far I ve been able to determine that it is a Class 121 "Bubble" train. If the number 034 is an identifier, then it is the 121 034 operated by Chiltern Railways, it's their only Class 121.

And that damned station is probably Aylesbury.

Well done it is Aylesbury, the station previously featured in the Cellar here

Very well done, GM
How did you come by the "Class 121 Bubble" train ? I don't see any clues in the pic.
Is that the sort of the thing that Brit/European travelers would know ?

GunMaster357 12-18-2011 07:11 PM

I came up with a list railway companies in the UK and then tried to find some detail on their fleet. Wikipedia gave me a list of cars for one company and each model had its own entry with pictures. When I found an identical one I shortened the search.

Lamplighter 12-18-2011 07:13 PM

GM, I'm impressed !

I'm struggling with this one.

The house appears quite old, possibly 19th century, constructed of brick, stone, wood and possibly with an iron framework. One of the most noticeable features is the decorative carvings of the eaves.

Conducting multiple Google image searches concentrating on the eaves, trying to narrow down the style of architecture, I keep on coming up with Russian buildings using similar decorative features. Examples include this, that and the other. The Russians appear to like decorating their eaves. Am I on the right track?

GunMaster357 12-19-2011 01:52 PM

Oh yes you're on the right track.

All my searches keep leading back to this place. It's similar, but not the same.

TonyE 12-20-2011 08:39 AM

I've learnt something today, the traditional Russian wooden house usually found in the countryside is called an izba, but I have still not found this one...

glatt 12-20-2011 08:43 AM

yeah, I though izba would be the key, but it doesn't help much.

Gustomesowo village, 30 km south of Kostroma.

Without any hintage, this is my answer and I'm sticking to it.

Next! Where is this? (Just throwing another one in...we'll keep guessing on the izba)

This one might be a lot easier. ;)

The picture shouts out theme park and the state of the paintwork indicates that it is abandoned. A search for abandoned theme parks led to China's Wonderland near Beijing - http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2...erland/100207/

infinite monkey 12-20-2011 11:49 AM

Well that was quick! :)

Imma go back to retronaut.

Back to the Izba.












(crickets)

glatt 12-20-2011 12:49 PM

I got it. It's Villa Beauséjour in Paris France.

I found it when one of the sites I went to had "isba" as an alternate spelling for "izba" and a Google image search for "isba" turned up a similar picture. then I clicked through a maddening number of web sites in French that all had pictures of this before I found a link that told me where it was.

I want my 45 minutes back.

Those isbas are a remant of the four ones that Russia built in Paris for the Universal Exposition in 1867.

Watson Lake in Canada? In the Yukon, where they hush muskies?

glatt 12-21-2011 01:29 PM

Yeah! I thought somebody was going to say Watson Lake, Alaska because there are at least half a dozen sites that have it mislabeled that way, and I figured it would go on a bit longer then.

Correct.

Come July that tower will probably be better known around the world than many of the popular tourist locations of London.
