Martin very kindly send us additional pictures of the 'Penzance Flyer' railtour taken at Dawlish on what was obviously a glorious day in 1996 long before the sea wall was raised. Note all the heads and cameras out of the windows - 'those were the days my friend - we thought they'd never end'.

Hello Roger, A Happy and healthy New Year to you and all the team. Great Pictures of the class 50s in the snow at Penzance. On another gloomy, cold and wet day,I send a picture taken on a very warm 23 August 1993 of 59005 at Reading West with the mid-afternoon Acton To Merehead Jumbo train empties.
