  1. Some very effective sleeper posters, but one was a bit spooky. The moonlit loco cast a shadow, three trees in the middle distance cast shadows, but the telegraph posts didn’t. How did that get past the editing stage?

  2. I almost wept when I looked at the old “BR Sleeper” poster.
    I’ve used at least 3 of those & the (IMHO) fake “economics” of closing them down was a disaster
