Dydh da,
Please find a photo from today. Poignant as three aspects (pardon the pun) will soon disappear. Not sure what will happen to the signal box. Anyone? Hopefully they can be preserved.
Oll an gwella,

One and All

A huge amount of effort by Mpower Kernow and many, many others has gone into getting the turntable at St Blazey back into use over the last six months, and with there being nothing like a deadline, we might be ready to accommodate passing Scottish visitors tomorrow. If there is interest, a site visit by CRS can be arranged through me. (Not today).

Confident that others will manage to supply photos, but very proud of the team achievement.

Best regards

Tim Hughes

Thank you for your very fine picture Tim. Without your teams tremendous effort todays railtour with 4472 hopefully making an appearance and christening the turntables reintroduction into operational use steam tours to Cornwall have become far more practical. A special thank you to you and the team.

The first picture of the todays Flying Scotsman Railtour we received was at 12.02 and was sent in by David Tozer.

WSR Spring Gala
Bill Elston

No pictures of F./ Scotsman from me, instead I had a very entertaining afternoon at Bps. Lydeard for the WSR Steam Gala.
In the space of an hour I was able to photograph all four visiting locos, between 2-and 3 o'clock
Five phots attached, Hope they are of interest.

Best wishes, Bill Elston
