Pantograph in Cornwall?
Craig Munday
Hi Keith Thank you for posting the NMT HST picture at Angarrack. If you look closely along the carriages you will see the train is fitted with a Pantograph. I wonder if this is the only train to ever visit Cornwall with one? The situation will change, of course, once the new GWR trains come on stream in a few years time. Could this train be a first? Kind regards Craig

               A good point Craig - glad you mentioned it.

Redruth repaint
Mike Roach
Hi Keith,  A few pictures of the Redruth Station downside building, recently repainted and looking very smart. I fancy that a slightly different shade of red has been used possibly. Regards Mike        Many thanks

Redruth downside. During a previous renovation several years ago three of the front panels of this building were removed to make the seating area 'open plan' - an excellent idea. 15th March 2016 Copyright Mike Roach

 You may find this web site very interesting, if you haven't seen it before.      http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk
Loads of old aerial pics, black and white, some go back to 1920s etc. Great ones of Plymouth, Tavistock (particularly good one of Tavistock Sth) and many other interesting places, loads of railway stuff.
