Forecasters wrong, Roger right. Part Two.                                                                                  A trip to Exeter Rog Winnen

7/8/2014

 
Due to the fact that I've been away for a few days and due to certain operational difficulties far away from home I'm afraid that the continuance of Rogers pictures from Saturday 2nd August is a little late coming on to site - my apologies. However, his collection is definitely not to be missed especially those unique shots taken from the back window of the Saturdays only treat - the loco hauled train Par - Exeter - Penzance.
