Peter writes - I don't think that the recent refurbishment of Platform 3 at Liskeard station has featured on the site. The splendid team at the Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership have made an excellent display of posters through the ages in the waiting area of the branch platform.
My photos show the overall effect and a close up of each of the posters, covering a different period in the line's history. They are designed to complement the interactive App that allows visitors to watch and listen as the posters come to life and also to hear a personal commentary as trains proceed down the branch to Looe. For more information, visit Looerailheritage.com or visit the information rooms at Liskeard and Looe stations, which are manned by volunteers on weekday mornings during the summer.
Best wishes, Peter Many thanks Peter - well worth recording

On holiday, or local this looks like well worth seeing.
Just a brief note to attach details of my exhibition of photos over the Bank Holiday Weekend. Whilst it is not railway related, it may be of interest.
All the best, Phil Hadley

It's on the A4 bus route.
An appeal
This is further to an appeal published a couple of days ago - As archivist for the Maunsell Locomotive Society, I am always on the lookout for any photographs, spotting notes, daily duty allocation records, in fact records of any kind relating to the 5 engines the Society owns : S15 30847, V 30928 'Stowe', Us 31618/31638 and Q 30541.These records are entered into an extensive diary I am trying to compile of the pre-preservation working lives of these engines. Any assistance from CRS members would be very much appreciated and I'm happy to cover any reasonable costs incurred, particularly for photographs. Please contact me for any specific data such as dates in service and locations should this help when searching your records.
