Re: Level Crossings.
I'm partial to very long tunnels on disused railway lines, much like the one at Great Oxendon in Northamptonshire. Quite, quite beautiful with haunting echoes of a bygone era of train-related stuff.

If Dave was to use a Hammond L100 for just one more gig I'd die content.

For anyone with a passing interest in disused railways and what things used to be like years ago, then this site makes fascinating reading: http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/

Re: Level Crossings.
If you slowed down in front of me at a railway crossing I'd shunt you onto the bloody track! (metaphorically speaking)
As for pylons - I've always loved them.When it rains you can hear them crackle and I love walking into the middle of them and looking up.Oooh,I love a pylon I do!

Any time now the rush of wind will take my breath away as it hurtles past leaving me shaking and wanting !....the sound of the whistle gently fading into the distance as i stand there, eyes shut, head back, gasping for air that was sucked out of me by the sheer power of the beast that gently brushed my cheek as she entered my life for that brief moment............................................ok ok, i done it last night .

Captain Scarlet "Yes. Let's go home and get the toy dinosaurs out to play"
Captain Black "Now you're talking"
