Hi Keith, After a glorious week, the weekend isn't going to be so sunny.
Here are some recent images from the Duchy.
The Par harbour working ran down after daylight, which is unusual for this time of year. The sun hadn't quite reached the crossing as the train crossed. The Par harbour working is difficult to photo at any time of year. How we wish for a late afternoon trip out of the works!
Other images include a super sunny shot over looking St Ives with 150102 on the branch, and the clay trains mid week are seen around the "Bermuda triangle" . Cheers for now, Craig Many thanks Craig

A smashing shot of 34062 17 Squadron in action. Mike writes :- The immediately identifiable rolling stock are a Hawksworth coach leading whilst the third coach is a Collet 'special saloon' and as there are no headcode disc displayed I wondered if this is one of those Exmouth Junction route knowledge trips on the South Devon Main line which is confirmed by a viewer on the SEmG Yahoo group's mssage board who beleive that the loaction is on the westbound climb to Rattery to the east of the A385 bridge over the railway line looking back in the Totnes direction.
