31st July saw lovely light across mid Cornwall. The South coast bathed in blue skies, the North cloaked in a duvet of brooding skies. The GWR exchanged was pictured at changeover showing 150244 coming from Newquay- and 43175 heading for the resort. Picture (1) a second shot at St Blazey (2). 66031 headed for Carne Point in the afternoon, still with a wonderful "Poldark" lighting effect. Picture (3)
1st Aug, a chance to catch the elusive 6C35 running down to Lostwithiel to run round with the cement wagons. 70810 is caught near Brownqueen tunnel with 23 loaded PCAs bound for Moorswater Picture 4. Many thanks Craig

On Runabout
On the 30th July 2018 Will Kilner on holiday in the South West took his family on a Runabout in Cornwall. Here are the first two of several pictures he took while having a grand time. Many thanks Will
Will really captures the excitement in this picture as an up service runs into St Erth. 30th July 2018 Copyright Will Kilner Note the track machines stored in the bay platform 4.
Nicely framed by the structure of the listed footbridge an up HST led by 43034 rolls into St Erth. Copyright Will Kilner
Two 37's at Par

37207 William Cookworthy passes through Par with the 07.50 St Austell to Plymouth charter formed of four first class mark 1s on 6th July 1985. I have no idea what the purpose of this train was. The loco looks immaculate with the BR and Cornish lizard arrow on its sides and on the front the legend 'Cornish Railways', BR arrows flag, the St Piran flag of Cornwall and the Cornwall coat of arms with motto 'One And All'. A sight to make any Cornish native proud. Copyright Clive Smith
37204 awaits departure with the 21.05 Par to Plymouth on Saturday 14th June 1986. The stock is an air-conditioned set from the earlier Paddington to Newquay. 50018 had then failed on the 17.55 Newquay to Par with its return stopper to Newquay at 18.55 subsequently cancelled. Cue 37204's appearance from St Blazey to provide a spirited run to Plymouth. Copyright Clive Smith
