I don't know if you have seen this one before but coming from 1898 I think it's rather special. Courtesy of the BFI

Please find attached another set of diversions through East Devon, at Axminster and Honiton this time, and even featuring the 1C82 Paddington - Penzance. The locations are a bit more photogenic than Seaton Jnc. but the sun didn't shine and the wind was freezing.
Usual backup captions if you need them.
With kind regards, Brian Many thanks again Brian

Another bad day yesterday. Not helped by crazy timetabling. The 1328(previously 1344) stone empties is booked off Pinhoe at 1350. Coming the other way is the 1103 from Paddington departing at 1356. Thus the stone cannot go forward on the single line.
It has run again this morning so I am hoping to get out to Whimple for it.
Regards Dave Many thanks David

The first day of diversions of Plymouth - Paddington services via Yeovil Junction brought rain, sleet and hail to East Devon.
As the lineup included a lone daytime freight it was well worth the effort, although my choice to go to Seaton Junction, after Axminster, was a mistake. I have modelled the station in 00 gauge for several years and had a somewhat romanticised view of the location, but its overgrown and generally neglected state came as something of a shock. I suppose we should be grateful that the buildings remain and are used for modern purposes, but compared with the well maintained station in Great Western Road, Chard, it looks very depressing.
Hope these pics tell the story and let me know if the captions don't arrive intact.
With kind regards, Brian Many thanks indeed Brian.
