On Saturday 7th October the Worcester Loco Society held a members day on the South Devon Rly. The WLS own & maintain their own GWR Pannier Tank No. 5786 which is currently numbered as London Transport L92. The WLS loco's are based on the South Devon Rly. This loco was used all day on WLS private charters during the day.
Kitson 0-6-0 saddle tank Loco No5474 ' Carnarvon' is the other loco that WLS own which is been rebuilt at Buckfastleigh.
Also seen on the railway was Clayton D8568 & 37275 as 6975 which will be used on the diesel weekend in November. This is the first time a Clayton has been seen this far South.

Hi Keith, I had a quick scan through the Southampton sections on the site and there is no mention of the flags on the footbridge at the station, as they are painted over now. I think the attached photo may be of interest, it could be a good quiz question for Roger!
Anyway in Naval terms the flags read WELCOME TO SOUTHAMPTON.
Possibly a little known fact.
Regards Mick Thanks Mick, glad you flagged this one up!

Hi Keith, Thursday's forecast seemed the most promising of the week, so I ventured out for the clay and the prospect of Colas 66850 on RILA duties. The RILA trip did not make it to Newquay, only as far as Gonnbarrow, so returned early to Par & Penzance.
The obligatory mist hove into view as I dropped down the hill into Lostwithiel, so opted for Coulsons Park, by the river. The sun was strong enough to punch through the mist, so I provided entertainment for dog walkers with my trusty steps and perched on them as 6G06 loomed into view. The sun caught the loco smack on, as the wagons trailed back into the mist.
I caught 66850 passing St Austell on its return to Tavi Jn.
Kind regards, Craig Many thanks Craig
