Many thanks to Graham Mann, Network Rail Programme Manager for taking the time and trouble to send us these pictures on Christmas Day.  Many thanks also for others sent during 2015.
​It's nice to be appreciated and can U help please?

Just to say very many thanks for the pleasure of viewing so many fascinating pictures – brings back memoirs of past and present holidays.
 
I have a 42xx – 4215 - with a complete rake of ‘hoods’ - open clays – vans and some Delabole (presflo’s) and a toad all 00 gauge.
 
Would you know if any  pictures of 4215 – 2-8-0T – originally built as a Welsh Collier – but was seconded to Cornwall – possibly St Blazey/Par – exist.
Any ideas please.?
 
Many thanks –
 
Happy and Prosperous 2016 and perhaps most importantly Good Health to ALL.
