Hi Keith
I popped out to Merthen Farm to get a record shot of 66188 passing with the sand, and the sun came out and gave me one of the best of 2013! Mid Summers day 21st June. Sent in full res - would love this as a cover shot sometime maybe?
Hope you are well mate. Got an excursion tomorrow & Mazey day next week. Lots of photos all being well, some sun would be fab too!
All the best Craig  Many thanks to you Craig.

Falmouth Docks Connection                      Nathan Stockman

20/6/2013

 
The following two pictures were taken by Nathan Stockman, a member of FGW staff,  and show the condition of track which formed the connection to Falmouth Docks. It is understood that as there were no objections to the removal of this connection it is likely to take place in 2014. Many thanks to Nathan for these pictures.
