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 Travelling on the rail replacement bus service between Barnstaple and Exeter on Saturday 27th September 2014 afforded a chance view from the top of the double decker of the pullman coach 'Aries' normally kept under wraps. Due to distortion and colouration through the bus window the picture has been heavily touched up.
Hello Keith, I took the opportunity to get shots of a rare event at Bodmin Parkway today. Its not often that you get three classes of diesel in one shot there. First picture is 60096 stabled at the siding next to the up platform. The second is of 60096 again with 56302, and Bodmin's 47306 in the middle. Regards Mike Bojko Quite an amazing and lucky shot by Mike Bojko at Bodmin Parkway - a unique view. Remember Martin Duff's of three HST's in view at once at Truro.
Hi Keith, 57603 & 57310 on Night Riviera running late this morning.
Regards Mick Many thanks Mick Hi Keith Here a some pictures of Colas Rail's class 56 number 56302 arriving at St Blazey to collect their latest acquisition 60096. The sun came out at exactly the right time for us too! 56302 starred in the B&WR diesel gala on 27th Sept. Cheers Craig Many thanks Craig, as no doubt will be seen elsewhere on the Newspage 56302 starred in the Bodmin and Wenford Gala.
140926 Colas Rail 56302 seen passing throuth Exeter St Thomas Station at about 14.30 hrs on route to St Blazey to recover 60096 for a static display during The Bodmin & Wenford Railways Diesel Gala at Bodmin Parkway. The Class 60 will be stabled at the exchange siding and hopefully the 56 will be running during the Gala. Copyright David Tozer Hi Keith, Another of my Dad's old photos.
Not the most interesting one you'll ever see I guess but I like it. It is the only railway picture on the roll of negatives. The rest are of the family. I don't know exactly when or where it was taken. I suspect it is from the early 1960s and may have been taken from Dobbs Lane overlooking the sidings at Truro Station. Dad took a lot of photos from there of steam engines shunting. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any of these (negatives or photos) but I haven't totally given up hope yet. Maybe someone will recognize the track layout. Mike Loze and Pat Loze Many thanks to Pat and Mike - where it can YOU help? By the way, keep looking, we're keen to see Reg's pictures of the shunting etc. There are two paths in today for moving 60096 from St Blazey. 56302 is currently allocated.
