Visit to 
Exeter Panel Today
David Tozer
​Hi Keith, I was among a group of twelve members of SERUG who paid a visit to the Exeter Panel Box. I did take some photos of the large panels which displays train movements. However I am sure Network Rail would not approve of these being published on the internet,. Entrance was made via Red Cow crossing so I was able to get this unusual photo of a Class 143. Dave. Many thanks David - what an opportunity. We under stand  about internal photos on the web.

Scotsman at Bittaford
Clive Smith
Since there haven't been so many photos of Flying Scotsman as you had hoped, I thought I would fill the gap with a picture from 30th June  2001. This was the 'Westcountry Scotsman' tour from London to Plymouth photographed crossing Bittaford Viaduct close to my home. Not one of my better shots. If memory serves I do not recall so much publicity for this visit as for the weekend just passed. That said the internet was not so prevalent then, smartphones had not been invented and thus neither had the selfie. 

Regards, Clive Smith. 
Very thoughtful and many thanks indeed.

The east approach to
St Austell
Roger Winnen

Picture
D1056 Western Sultan approaches St Austell with the 08.00 Bristol Penzance. The goods yard approach line is seen curving away to the left. This picture dates from the 29th November 1975. Copyright Roger Winnen. N.B. All this is almost forgotten track, from this location today (2018) all that can be seen is plain track on the bank towards Par. The goods yard approach curve is retained a s siding in case of the need to operate a service in West Cornwall between Penzance and St Austell. This siding terminates at more or less the ground disc signals.
Many thanks to Guy Vincent for correcting the loco number as D1056 Western Sultan and not D1028 Western Hussar
