Hi Keith. Back into railway mode for a day or so...
We’ll start with a quick look at Ilfracombe. Extremely quick in fact....You’ll see why...
My VERY first colour slide of a loco happened to be this Warship at Ilfracombe. 803 on 25th July 1970 with the 1140 to Exeter.
Please forgive the quality.... I thought I was the bees-knees with my first camera. Halina Paulette. A plastic camera with a plastic lens.
Still I was only just 15, clearly still at school and little or no money.
Still, better than nowt. Ron
Very much better than nowt I'd say - thank heavens that for us you took your pictures. Many thanks KJ

ilfracombe Warsgip D803 stands at the head of the 1140 to Exeter on the 25th July 1970 Copyright Ron Kosys There's a stiff climb ahead to Mortehoe. Note the barren appearance of the station, all the sidings gone. There are one or two passengers about - the red telephone box still there to phone for a taxi.
The ominous notice - not often photographed. many thanks to Ron Kosys Copyright
