Rail 200 Inspiration Train at Salisbury
Guy Vincent
The Rail 200 Inspiration train is spending this weekend stabled in P5 at Salisbury. One of the two GBRF class 66s in Rail 200 livery, 66719 'Michael Portillo', is with the five-carriage formation. There was just time to grab a few photos during the two turnarounds I had at Salisbury today.

Bridestowe goods yard
Paul Hooper
I am in the course of building a model railway featuring Okehampton and Bridestowe stations. After spending much time on your excellent website, I was wondering if anybody had knowledge of Bridestowe station - in particular the goods shed. It seems from old maps I have seen that this was not a traditional 'drive through' shed, but the track passed to one side with possibly a canopy to provide shelter when unloading. There were large double doors on the other (mainline) side which presumably were to vehicle loading.
Does anyone know if I have this correct? Photos of this building are rare.

Sounds like an interesting project, Paul. If anyone can help, please drop us an email to [email protected]
