37423 Enters Devonport Dockyard with a flask train on 15th May 2014 Roger Winnen South Devon This Week Clive Smith IMG_1887 A Class 150 on the 12.49 Exeter St David's to Paignton at Horse Cove Dawlish on the 4th September 2018. This classic location is a shadow of what it used to be like for photographers due to the high sharp fencing and inevitable foliage incursion. It is just possible to squeeze in a shot with a bit of manoeuvring on the coast path and raised arms. Being over 6 feet tall helps. Copyright Clive Smith Thanks Clive
Don't forget This coming Saturday sees the start of our Indoor Meetings Programme for 2018/19 We make a bright start at 6.30 PM with a video programme presented by Steve Andrews who shows his latest footage compiled this year. Not to be missed. Click here for details of our venue Autumnal Scenes Craig Munday There, I've mentioned the "A" word again. Autumnal, it seemed the Summer of 2018 would never end, but August was a bit limp compared to the heatwave. 34052 is seen at St Blazey on Sept 2nd. The light hasn't been special lately, but a lovely bright afternoon on 5th saw me hook up with Dave Mitchell and Nigel Tregoning who were out with similar expectations. The wet conditions have caused the lineside vegetation to sprout up beyond belief. The recently cut back waterway at Tywardreath and Rundles Walk, St Blazey getting overgrown. Also the top of the drive shot at Golant was almost gone. Fortunately Ann & Chris kindly let us down onto their patio at Robins Rest for the classic causeway shot. All the best for now, Craig Munday Many thanks Craig Radipole Halt near Weymouth 3rd January 1978 Roger Winnen Mixed Fortunes on the Paignton & Dartmouth Railway Roger Winnen Travelling to Paignton yesterday we took advantage of 1st Class Advance purchase singles on the 07.41 from Penzance and return of only £8.60 in each direction. First Class travel entitles passengers to complimentary food and drink aboard buffet services. Well worth it! However the weather was hit and miss, and Paignton was very quiet as most of the tourist seemed to have returned home. 6023 King Edward 11 was running together with L94 Very sad news - John Cornelius Dear Keith and Roger, Very sadly, John passed away last evening at 11pm. In the end it was very quick but peaceful. As yet, I do not know the funeral date. Even yesterday John wanted to look up the Cornwall website to see the contents...he was an ardent fan. Kind regards, Jane Cornelius - Johns sister. Received at 07.02 6th September 2018 Our sympathies are with Johns sister and other family members. Penzance Jacob Hampson & Mark Lynham 37521 at Penzance prior to working 3Q51 2243 Penzance to Exeter Riverside N.Y Taken at 21.45 on the 5th September 2018. Many thanks Jacob. Earlier in the evening pictures by Mark Lynham Newquay Tunnel Roger Winnen On the 13th September 1982 the CRS paid a visit to Newquay following the Treffry Tramway. A highlight was enter the tunnel through which the tramway passed on route to the harbour. A short while ago Colin Burges brought us pictures taken very recently in its role as a surf and bathing outlet. Prior to this it was for a number of years the location of an aquarium and Roger Winnen brings you pictures taken inside the tunnel during this period.
