Norman writes :- The photo off memory by Mike Wennen has got me pondering as i knew that box in the 1950,s & saw my first Diesel Warship class there which is by the way,
I have pulled levers & the steps/stairs were on the left looking across the rail, There was a Black hut & toilet on the left & a wicket gate + vehicle crossing gate, The pill box was further left & a wicket gate to the right of that leading to the canal towpath hence the concrete post & wire, (a farmer would not do that). The door to the levers underneath was on the right (Durston end). In the box the levers were along the lineside of the box & the stove & desk were behind,Off memory no windows on the canal side but end windows each end,
I will gladly discuss on 07860663877, Regards N Finnimore

With her boiler ticket coming to an end, the Helston Railway gave Kilmersdon one last steam up for the railways volunteers to enjoy before she leaves the railway for her overhaul. I had the pleasure of being her trainee fireman for the day. 25.1.20.

David writes- Though not a member I am married to a very genuine Cornish Girl from Camborne for nearly fifty years. I live in Kent.
Now in my 80's I use to belong to the local railway society where I live writing many articles for them and at one time programme organiser. As I no longer have a car now relying on my Old Age Bus and Rail Card for occasional excursions. I try to keep up with Railways and their development both Old and New around the world belonging to a couple of the professional railway sites and having an Eldest Daughter who is a Transport Planner in Sustainability and projects
I like your web-site the interest and the daily upgrades.
One of the things I hold is the following document that you might be interested for your documents page. This is interesting as it came to Camborne in 1937.
Continue with the excellent web-site and Best wishes for the future.
