I went out to capture a few shots of the staff training run with the new 2+4 units today. I wasn't sure whether the 6 vehicles would fit on Liskeard Viaduct for my picture, but happily there was a little room to spare !
Best wishes, Peter Many thanks Peter

A day photographing diversions with a couple of contacts at Eastleigh, who were both more interested in the 4TC’s than myself.
After waiting a short while for the key to be produced to give us access, this was the only shot that I took. To which one can add, what a pity, but many thanks for sending this rare and valuable picture Ron. N.B. This quarry is between Salisbury and Dean
