An undated picture from the archives of a young Peter Butt. This picture conjures up memories for me (KJ) in my youth of hours spent on this very bridge watching the shunting operations taking place. 3702, RW informs me, was a regular engine on the job. Copyright Peter Butt
Re 3702 - A P.S. from Alan Harris
I was very interested to see Peter Butt's photo of 3702 appear on the website whilst shunting at Drump Road, Redruth. Thank You, Peter, This was probably my favourite loco as a youngster have watched it shunt and had the privilege of "cabbing it" from Drump Road in about 1958 courtesy of a friend of my father who drove a Scammell three wheeler out of Drump Road. 3702 was shedded at Truro from October 1955 to December 1961 and was scrapped at Cashmores of Newport in December 1964. Whilst at Truro, I believe it's daily run was from Truro, then shunting at Chacewater, Drump Road, Camborne and returning to Truro after shunting at Carn Brea, Redruth Coal Yard, and Redruth Station. I was also well pleased when Dapol produced an N gauge model of 3702 about 3 years ago. I hope this is of interest to you.
Kind Regards, Alan Many thanks for that additional info Alan.
