Moorswater
Alan Peters

I worked the Aberthaw - Moorswater cement from Bristol Temple Meads on 22nd May 2019 in superb weather with clear blue skies, the run round took place at Liskeard instead of Lostwithiel giving an earlier arrival at Moorswater where 70813 is involved in shunting the loaded PCA wagons and looking like a class 70 sandwich, note the GWR short set crossing Moorswater viaduct - Driver Alan Peters
   Many thanks Alan for a smashing picture - you timed it just right.

Penzance Pacer

It's the 18th of December 2008. One wonders what the subject of discussion between crew members is as Pacer 142 030 makes a rare visit to the far South West. Passengers are already boarding for the return journey to its home territory for this unit. Copyright Mike Roach.

Wim writes :-  Hello,
I would like to model the Dartmouth railway station building for my OO scale layout. There are plenty of photographs available online, but I’m looking for the general dimensions of the building to work out the correct size of my model. Could you help me with this, please?
 Many thanks,
               Wim Deblier. Belgium 
Can anybody help please.
