Hello Keith
Out on the patch today and caught 57605 involved in another HST drag. This time GWR HST set with 43143 Stroud 700 was in trouble at Camborne working 1A77 05.41 from Penzance. The train returned to Penzance and 57605 worked another rescue mission taking the set to Laira passing Par after 11.00.
The loco is seen returning west at Liskeard some time later.
Cheers Craig Many thanks Craig
