Hi Keith, It's feast or famine for railway fans. Nothing for weeks, then September was packed with day time loco hauled trains in Mid & East Cornwall. Sat 26th was no exception, with the B&W diesel gala - featuring the home fleet running in perfect sunshine all day.
I did manage some pictures in the late morning and afternoon. 33110 departing Bodmin General and passing the Walker lines industrial estate.
Then onto the Glynn Valley for the two down Colas workings. The second of which was spoiled by rogue clouds (how did clouds get up there?) The Glynn Valley seems to have its own eco-system. The HST & Sprinter passed in full sunlight (of course)...
The sun shone for the first train headed by 70803 passing Penkestle woods. The second train was pictured at St Blazey after shunting with sister loco 70804 in charge.
Cheers Craig Many thanks, as usual Craig.

An HST in the same location - surely the new GWR colours will be lost in the luxuriant green of this valley? 26th September 2015 Copyright Craig Munday
A similar comment again for this one, note the 'tinges' of autumn creeping in! 26th September 2015 Copyright Craig Munday
The sun not to bad for this down Colas working - is the train half full or half empty? 70803 passing Penkestle woods. 26th September 2015 Copyright Craig Munday
