Roger is out of contact - his PC has gone away to the depot - unlikely to be back before Tuesday at the earliest. So send no EM's before then. He will be available on his mobile and land line although he'll be out today.

Memories are made of this - the fantasic views we used to get.  Many thanks Stephen. We remember the excitement of seeing this non standard and rather garish livery patrolling the Cornish Branch lines.

David  Ive 

 Good Evening,
Attached is my first picture taken from the new Link Bridge on the rebuilt Dawlish Sea Wall, which opened yesterday. Taken this morning, it shows GWR 43155 “Rougemont Castle” leading 2U10 0540 Penzance to Cardiff Central.
Kind regards, David Ive.

Horse Cove
​versus Shell Cove
David Ive
Morning Keith,

Thanks for your email. I'm glad the images have been of use. I have the website on Bookmarks and enjoy reading the various articles.

Funny you should ask about Shell Cove, because I was, initially, hesitant about using the name. It is more commonly known as Horse Cove, however, I have seen Shell Cove used before.

See the attached OS extract. In my image, taken approximately where FB and the green diamond are marked, Shell Cove is the nearest beach, with Horse Cove behind. Hence, I used Shell Cove. I hope this explains.

I have a photographic website at www.djipix.com , where I regularly post images. It is transport based, but predominantly railway. Images are current and older, going back to the 70s and Hydraulics. If you see anything you would like to use, please let me know.

Kind regards, David.
Thanks for the Link David - I am sure visitors will find it interesting.
