The Sulzer Weekend at the Dartmoor Railway on Saturday 23rd January 2016 by Roger Winnen and Roger Salter
A fine display of Sulzer Engines was on display at Okehampton today, all trains having three locomotives for the round trip to Meldon Quarry-Okehampton and Coleford Junction to its limit with Network Rail, unfortunately we stopped out of sight of the Barnstaple Line. However the event was well supported with many railway enthusiats enjoying the day.

A different perspective on Torrington                                    from Mike Morant

It's nice to hear from Mike Morant again and indeed a pleasure to add pictures from his extensive collection.  Many thanks Mike.
Picture
An undated, almost distant view of Torrington Station. The A386 makes a steep descent from Torrington town before turning left to cross the railway. From the Mike Morant collection.
Picture
A little closer now, a view over the hedge. The locomotive, we are told is 41316 possibly, on the Halwill Junction to Torrington service. It looks as if the loco has been detached prior to running round. Note how fortunate it is that the majority of buildings in this picture have survived.
