Hi Keith, More train action at Lostwithiel, as the clay train passes various passenger trains. Also featured is the NMT passing Lostwithiel in the up direction under dark clouds.
The image 16 with the mist is particularly pleasing. The mist has risen as the sun appears, but still lingers above the scene in a rather ethereal fashion. The sun had just punched through it and has lit the clay train, signal and houses in the background, but not the HST in the foreground. The wonders of early mornings, views many people miss particularly in the Summer months. The other pictures taken as the morning wore on, and the sun got higher and stronger.
All the best for now, Craig
Many thanks Craig, glad you took advantage of the sun

This would be a pretty drab picture if the 150 were in the latest FGW livery. Lostwithiel 25th August 2017 Copyright Craig Munday
