Hi Keith
A delightful working to report:
After an odd week with the clay working due to a full store at Carne Point, the Friday 6P25 was a seriously under wagon affair! The boys in Fowey mentioned that only two cripples would be worked back to St Blazey on Friday afternoon / evening. So with some patchy sun it was too good to miss.
Getting away from the slipway crossing restriction Driver Steve Wheatley applies some power along the causeway. Thanks to the home owners for the driveway shot.
The second shot was taken later after running around the 2 wagons at Lostwithiel, passing by Treesmill near Par.
Also included are a couple from Par box taken on a bright Summer evening.
Kind regards, Craig Many thanks Craig

At 'The Dell'.
A Heritage set at 'The Dell', Copyright John Cornelius. Despite only being opened in 1970, the station has already been known by three different names: Falmouth, The Dell, and Falmouth Town. The station was opened as Falmouth by British Rail on 7th December 1970 when the branch line was cut back by 924 yd to terminate here. The platform was constructed using components from Perranporth Beach Halt which had closed in 1963. It was renamed The Dell on 5th May 1975 when the original Falmouth station was reopened, subsequently being renamed again, this time to Falmouth Town on 15th May 1989. From the lack of passengers on the platform it is likely that the train is heading away towards Falmouth Docks.
- Exeter St Davids
_ S_BR_34038_slide114 Bulleid original West Country pacific No. 34038 Lynton at Exeter St. David's in July 1964. 34038 entered service in July 1948 with its SR number 21C138 whilst its BR number was applied shortly afterwards in February 1949. Withdrawal was from Nine Elms in June 1966. However, there's something just a tad odd about this image as 34038 was allocated to Eastleigh when this shot was taken which begs the question as to what it was doing at Exeter and to compound the enigma there's no shed plate on the smokebox door.
