Many thanks to Steve Widdowson for sending in his pictures of an event at Bodmin nearly 25 years ago, Lifting a 115 ton class 50 is no small task for a party of skilled engineers. It would have been a simple task at Laira but the tenacity of the workforce at Bodmin is to be admired - and 50 042 is still a working machine to be proud of - Triumphant'. Well done, congratulations to all concerned.
