Camborne

50003 'Temeraire' and 45118 'The Royal Artilleryman' at Camborne with the 13.45 Penzance - Bristol TM on the 7th May 1983 . The peak was working normally on its return diagram and the 50 was attached at Penzance presumably to return to Laira and save a path.  A proper platform trolley stands on the opposite platform. 45118 will make a triumphant return to the main line and Devon in October 2022 on a charter from York. Subject to successful overhaul and testing, usual disclaimers etc etc ! Fingers crossed it all goes to plan. Regards Clive Smith

Many thanks to you Clive for another fine picture, we look forward to the Peaks return to at least Devon next year. Has anybody thought to preserve an example of a 'proper platform trolley'?

Many thanks Ron.
