A BUMPER DAY PICTURES FROM CRAIG MUNDAY

Hi Keith
I realise 27th was a bumper day, but please feel free to have these too. I was early Liskeard and managed this jammy sunny shot of 5Z70, the returning empty Sleeper train following 57604's failure the evening before. The down sleepers had 57310 tucked in to work this train back. I detected a smell of dragging brakes as it passed the box and Plymouth & Control were advised. The train later developed a fault up near Totnes. There's something to be said for lineside Signalboxes, and Signalmen with keen senses!!
Also pictured are 66099 & 168 which ran up to Westbury to collect the RHTT wagons, which I also pictured at Largin on its return.
FINALLY, I have some pictures from the excellent B&WR diesel gala with the popular Colas class 56 56302 making an appearance along with the line regulars, 37142, 47306 & 33110.  Kind regards for now Craig

                                                                        Many thanks Craig

Liskeard 27th September 2014. From his box Craig Munday witnesses, in excellent light, the passage of 57310 hauling 57604. He reported the small of dragging brakes was the train passed the box - extra work for the loco plus a waste of fuel. Copyright Craig Munday
