I have just discovered your website, and wondered if the attached might be of interest. I took the B&W shots on Marazion Station in 1960 or 1961, all on the same morning, and they depict the following (if memory serves me correctly):
D600 - 10am Cornish Riviera
D6313/7 - 10:10am to ???
D6312/x - 10:30am Cornishman
The color shot was taken in August 1961 by my grandfather, Hugh Parrish, and depicts my sister, myself and, more importantly, "Scotty," who was a porter at Marazion station. He also did 'odd jobs' at the B&B that we stayed in - perhaps some of your older readers remember him?
I spent many happy hours on Marazion station, trainspotting, during our summer holidays and have no idea what possessed me to photograph only these three diesels - not a 'Castle' in sight!
If any of your readers can provide additional, or correcting, details, I'd appreciate hearing about them.
