I wasn't going to send these photos in as they are only off my phone, and hence not the greatest quality, but I noticed you don't have too many photos of yesterdays excursion within the Duchy on your website, so they are here if you'd like them.
Just a few photos of 47746 running around and then shunting the stock away at Par after the passengers alighted for onwards travel to Fowey and the Eden Project.
All the best,
Jon Hird
