Mystery Location to Identify

[chipbury]

Hi,

First post here after being a long time lurker!

I recently found a box of slides taken in @ 1991 which to cure my curiosity I got digitised. Unfortunately the quality is quite poor possibly due to poor storage/cheap film? Anyway I've being trying to identify all the locations but there are two that have stumped me. I'll put one here and see if anyone has any ideas. It's 60002, 60040 & 60068 all looking quite new and shiny. I've a vague idea it might be west London??

Cheers,

Chris

ps sorry if this in the wrong section.

That's Leicester depot.

I like the road cone acting as buffers

To be fair, the cone is sat on a couple of old sleepers.

Just to make certain that it fully stops the 131tonnes of loco!

Thanks for that - what was I doing in Leicester in 1991???

I could not resist spending a minute with you photo in GIMP. Is this better? Applying Auto White Balance and playing with the brightness and contrast sliders does wonders without needing to be an expert (I'm not). You might want to use it on your other digitised slides.

Not bad that @Lucan although the enhancement does seem (to me) to have somewhat washed out (and dulled) much of the colour of the centrepiece traffic cone.

That's true. So I've increased the saturation and replaced the pic in my post above. I'm really trying to show the OP what is possible.

Certainly otherwise appears to sharpen up the picture.

Thanks for that, I'll have a mess around with the rest of the slides.
