Lightning Long Rock

Britannia class 70019 LIGHTNING is turned at Long Rock, Penzance. A slightly murky shot, but worth it for its rarity. Engine length: 68' 9"; weight with tender: 143 tons. It was a tight squeeze, but they did it daily in the 'fifties. Copyright Roy Hart
Par Steam  
& Hayle Carnival
Craig Munday

A really long lapse of sending in pictures. It's simply not been camera weather, I cant remember a Summer period like it. The 8 "Golden weeks" now firmly behind us, and the evenings noticeably pulling in. 

At least there was some light during this weekend, so a visit to Hayle for the carnival produced some nice viaduct shots, 

Sunday I covered a shift at Par so was treated to 46100 Royal Scot with the Royal Duchy charter, and 43002 working 1C76 along with fellow repaint celebrity power car 43185.  All the best  Craig       Many thanks

Yeovil Railway Centre
John Cornelius

Quite reasonable flow of visitors came to the event, very enjoyable day.
Although I was roped in to act as guards assistant in the brake van for a spell at lunch time. I didn't mind that as I had nothing else to do.
cheers JOHN C. -   Keeps you out of mischief - many thanks John.
