Out of our region but it is a Western, a favourite in the west and it is from Roger Geach very much a western fan who has provided our home page this month. That's our excuse, but doesn't Champion look Champion?
                                                                                  Many thanks Roger

Overnight arrival
Roger Geach
Rogers policy is one of constant improvement and to prove this here is an improved scan of a picture already on the web site.

1010 Western Campaigner on the 1b83 2345 Paddington to Penzance Long Rock 10th August 1975. In the distance hiding behind a post is St Michael's Mount. It is also worthy of note that 1010 holds a record in being the only locomotive to haul a train non stop for Paddington to Penzance. It was down to walking pace at times to avoid passing a red!

A viaduct question
From Roger Geach
Morning All
This picture of mine on the CRS web page and I am having doubts which viaduct this is . I tend to think its Tregarne and not Tregagle .
It is the viaduct taken off a farm overbridge  road access . The farm is called Tregurno, however I really am not certain what do you boys all think ?
I can't seam to find any shots of Tregagle  but John Vaughan has this viaduct pictured in his book as Tregarne .
What do we think ?
This bit of line from Probus to Truro is not very well photographed its been overgrown for many years .
Craig can you confirm please .
Many Thanks,  Rog Geach           
and thanks for the question and picture
