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 |
Is it in Wales?
|
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. |
I'd say Holyhead
|
I hate everybody and I always want my 45 minutes back.
|
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. |
Yorkshire...220-034, (Yorkshire Voyager?)

I want my additional 15 minutes back
|
ARGHHHH...I've lost track of how much time I want back!
|
Another little clue, it is not the first photograph of this station to appear in the Cellar.
|
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. |

Where is this house?

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 ? |
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.
|
GM, I'm impressed !

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? |
Oh yes you're on the right track.

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

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. |

No. Not Staten Island. Sorry.

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

yes! Well done.
Attachment 36103 Edit: It's actually visible from the highway between Harrisburg and Allentown, so many of you in Dwellar land may have seen it while driving East on 78. |

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

I thought it was down the path labelled: "Pristine Nature Trails ---> "

London, England

Come July that tower will probably be better known around the world than many of the popular tourist locations of London. |
It's very artistic.
