The Loram PLG 01 Grinder is working out of Truro Yard this week, as you will probably agree it is a very impressive machine even more so if you happen to see it in action.

In my humble opinion these are better photos than I took those on 25th May from the other side of the South Marston footbridge with the train (consisting of the loco - 47815 - and two barrier coaches) which had been used earlier in the day to take withdrawn rolling stock from Ely in Cambridgeshire to a scrapyard in Newport (Gwent), Kind regards, Ken Mumford
Many thanks Ken.

Well worth trying AND don't forget to click on 'more' at the foot of the paragraph.
Dave adds this footnote. This will only protect the relay room on the other side of the bridge. The washouts have been on the side.
