Tornado + 66
Roger Aston

Bad news travels fast, so we already knew a "66" was heading Tornado because of fire risk. So no surprise when they came into view approaching Taunton for scheduled water stop. 17th June 2017 Roger Aston

Close up as the pair pause for a drink, well for Tornado! 17th June 2017. Copyright Roger Aston.

The 'Oasis' as far as Tornado was concerned. A not often photographed but essential piece of kit. 17th June 2017 Copyright Roger Aston

A nice photograph taken at a classic location but, in my opinion not a very pleasing sight!! KJ. Picture copyright Roger Aston.

HST Fire.
Ken Mumford

​43004 had a fire which caused the Fire Brigade to attend. Which meant the up & down had to be shut to allow them to run their hose across the lines from west car park!
Many thanks to Ken Mumford and Colin Pidgeon for this report and pictures.

Looe failure
​Craig Munday

153318 failed at Looe this week, and arrangements made to assist with 150104 from main line duties. I was tasked with bringing the staff from the failed train back to Coombe no. 1 ground frame to allow the assisting unit on to the single line. One of the few occasions when the staff does NOT remain with the failed train. The three detonators certainly made a racket across the river at Looe as the assisting unit approached.                              Cheers Craig.    
Many thanks Craig - it's great to have a report such as this from you.
