Ron writes:- Thursday 28th April 1988 was just typical of my ‘luck’ whilst trying to phot 50149.
When the weather was good, there was very little traffic on the move.
And when the weather wasn’t so good there was a fair bit about.
 
Well this day was appallingly bad. It was very dull and very wet. Pity digital photography wasn’t around at that time....
This particular Thursday found 50149 employed almost continuously between Lostwithiel and Fowey.
Unfortunately it was that dark Kodachrome photography was nigh-on impossible, but you had to give it a go...
 
Here, 50149 passes through Lostwithiel heading for Fowey with loaded CDA’s. Note 47339 in the former Fowey bay platform.
It didn’t move all day so I’m guessing it was out of service.
​
THANK YOU Ron The light might be bad but your photos are excellent - to every cloud there is a silver lining!! Many thanks indeed.

Shortly afterwards, 50149 heads off once again for Fowey in the pouring rain with a train of loaded CDA’s. Unfortunately I was a little caught out, and didn’t allow myself sufficient time to get further along the footpath. A pity he adds! 28th April 1988 Copyright Ron Kosys

Later that afternoon, 50149 headed once more for Fowey. The weather was dreadful. Not a good advertisement at all for the Cornwall Tourist Board. It is seen at Golant hauling 8 loaded CDA’s – the shortest train I noted all day. I’m not sure if the tide was actually in, or if the harbour was full due to the amount of rain that had fallen that day!!!!! 28th April 1988 Copyright Ron Kosys
