Good morning Roger
The RHTT  seen on Thursday night was interesting.  Managed to get a couple of shots of it  going back just before 23.00 . Not the best as my camera went into time out when on pro and produced basic photos. The engines 66116 and 66098 were on duty  spraying heavily going through.

Thanks Leslie

Chips from
​Angarrack station

Photos of the original Angarrack station in Guildford Road, Hayle. The house has recently been renovated and there are now plates on the building showing that the house was the old station from 1843-1852. The line ran alongside it. The house was a very popular fish and chip shop for many years, serving up some of the best around. My mother-in-law has lived a few doors away from there for over 60 years ! Regards, Dennis

By the way, my wife worked in the chip shop in her early teens in the 1970s. She was asked to leave as I don’t think she suited the job ! She didn’t like the smell of chips on her when she went to The Penmare disco in Hayle after work !!!! Regards, Dennis

Thank you Dennis for your pictures. I second your comments concerning the Fish and Chip Shop, excellent chips and handy too for the locals and tourists.

With Didcot Power Station clearly visible, 47521 is about to pass through Culham with a Paddington to Oxford service, 19th July 1989.. Copyright Ron Kosys. All very much history now with the Power Station having been demolished. The complete train in N.S.E. livery looks very smart.

Many thanks Ron.
