Art Deco Train
Do you have a blog you always read and never comment at? I have one, that is Ian Visits. He lives in London and he is very interested in his city's history, with a slight public transport bent. I can't interact with every blogger in the world, so I just enjoy his blog and keep my fingers still. Ian's blog is truly first class.

Yes I like it! a bit different to the current carriages.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great photo and clearly Ian adheres to your school of photography (ie photos minus people).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love that train!!
ReplyDeleteThere's probably a blog or three that I drop in on and don't leave comments.
Dianne, before plastic was invented and Bakelite fittings would not be appropriate.
ReplyDeleteVictor, I do have some photos with people coming soon.
It is Cazzie.
Yep River. I have a few the same. Funnily they tend to be very well written and constructed blogs and popular too.
ooh I love that carriage. I want one to put in my backyard!
ReplyDeleteFen, you will have to learn to smoke with an elegant holder, hold a martini glass and cross your stockinged legs nicely before you can sit on a seat.
ReplyDeleteI think you will have to contact your blogger and ask him to organise an excursion for us.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice P&C. Although I am not sure how smooth the ride would be in comparison to modern carriages, not that the current Tube carriages are so smooth or quiet.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely and makes me wonder how long it would last on the Frankston line.
ReplyDeletePublic Transport Users must have been more civilised back then.
One thing for sure Ann, they would not respect a wreck. If you keep standards up, you have a half a chance.
ReplyDeleteDoes the next thing show my age?
ReplyDeleteI do remember those trains, when I lived in London in the late 70's these were still driving around.
Peter I believe some are still running on the Isle of Man. They must look odd running around above ground. I bet you would take a less romantic view of 1938 train carriages.
