Cold and bright Cornwall

Yesterdays pictures from Mark, many thanks.

158766 seen arriving at Lostwithiel on 2C42 0524 Bristol Temple Meads to Penzance, far more suitable for such a long journey than a Class 150. It's 09.02 on the 26th November 2018 and the sun is reaching down the platform. Copyright Mark Lynam. Nice to see some commuters about!

Mystery Power Car at Long Rock?
Karl Hewlett
Regarding the mystery HST power car at Long Rock, well this one is a bit of a brain teaser!   Interestingly 43190 was paired 43194 on a Laira to Long Rock stock move 5Z79, 21st November, then went back as back-to-back power cars 0Z77, as reported by Roger Salter on the CRS website.  Since then on the 23rd November 43190 has come down again with a rake of HST Mark 3's (ex OC32), that are for storage at Long Rock with the other power car being 43165, the rumour is the coaches are eventually destined for 'Hull Trains'.  Since then other than the usual 5Z stock movements (which there was one leaving Penzance for Laira at 21:00), I cannot see an 0Z77 return working for the power cars to return, so a logical thought is 43165 still at Long Rock somewhere out of view as well?
Regards, Karl (Friends Of Penmere Station).      
  Many thanks Karl
 Mystery of the Power Car at Long Rock is Solved!
Roger Salter
I am most grateful for Karl Hewlett suggestions about the HST Power Car which turned out to be correct. Visiting Long Rock this afternoon both power cars were attached to a set of coaches which must have been hidden away under cover in the depot for the last few days. The pictures below show the train in the reception road at Long Rock.
Many Thanks Karl
