The 'Red Devil'
Peter Murnaghan

I enclose a few pictures of the Red Devil, 153 325.  As you know, it received a vinyl wrap to cover up its London Midland livery in 2013 to advertise Citizens Rail, a European funded project (2012-1015) that the Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership participated in.  I travelled on it on the Newquay branch last week and was amused to see that it still displays its London Midland legacy inside, with green seats (actually now in keeping with the new GWR green livery) and the old LM name (now historic itself) on the safety notices.  I also took a picture in its former guise at Plymouth station on 24th October 2012.
I am sending you these pictures if you would like to use some of them.
               Best wishes, Peter.              Many thanks Peter

Luxulyan Tunnel

Picture
Our party are seen emerging from Luxulyan Tunnel on the 7th April 1973. Those were the good old days when we were allowed to walk on branch lines - with the permission of the late Rusty Eplett of course. We were accompanied by Senior Railman Arthur Anstis. We'd left a Newquay bound train at Luxulyan station and, having walked down the line through the tunnel we scaled the cutting by Treffry viaduct and then walked down the tramway to Par.

John recalls the wonderful days of steam on the four tracks at one time between Cogload and Taunton. One wonders whether increased traffic these days will ever result in the relaying of this section as four tracks once more? Copyright John Cornelius
