Some lovely stuff - GWR advertising the Isle of Man! And is that Old Timer in one of them (permanent way)?

And is that Old Timer in one of them (permanent way)?

I'd hope it wasn't the Paignton one

The PWay one is awesome as nothing has changed! Sure we are all orange now but the work is the same, even the lookouts armlet is exactly the same nowadays. Note the gangers and supervisors watching the blokes break their backs dogging the rail in

Thanks Oswyntail,

Those pictures are awesome. I personally liked PAIGNTON South Devon picture. Keep doing these kind of good work.

Love

I like how the Permanent Way poster, showing men with no safety gear lifting rails into place by hand, is described as depicting "a more elegant age."
