191118b 66162 arrives at Par. Thinking that the engine was going to St Blazey Depot I waited near the Signal Box to photograph here. Once the staff alighted from the engine and the signal being pulled off I realised that she was returning up country, so a dash we made to capture the next photograph. Copyright Roger Winnen

I attach a picture of 50029 slowing for it’s stop at Dawlish on 6 August 1983 with the 11.27 Paignton to Liverpool. A few of the visitors are looking at the train but the ducks are more interested in feeding!
Thanks for dealing with this,best wishes, Copyright Michael Forward
Many Thanks Michael
Saltash Veterans
​Clive Smith

Following on from Guy Vincent's report of the visit of veteran class 20s to Westbury, here is a nostalgic look back at a visit of the class to Cornwall. With the sun low in the sky, 20094 and 20124 come off the Royal Albert Bridge at St Budeaux on the 31st August 1986 with F&W's 'Chopper Topper Re-run' from Penzance to Wolverhampton. 

Regards, Clive Smith.
Many thanks for capturing that rare moment Clive.
