Golant at High Water
Ron Westwater

Hi Keith, As Craig said ..the Cornish summer has been very poor this year.
I also enclose a couple of non train shots taken at a very high tide at Golant
Note the state of the road when the tide is this high!!!
Still we had a very nice meal at the Fishermans arm pub.
Best regards, Ron Westwater. Many thanks Ron.

The 'window of opportunity' for getting boats in and out of the harbour at Golant must be very limited as this exceptionally high tide demonstrates. 66206 heads for Carne Point on the 21st August 2017. Copyright Ron Westwater.

The 'window of opportunity' for getting cars along this stretch of road alongside the harbour is somewhat limited by the tide. Mother nature enforces the 'No parking' issue at this time of day. 21st August 2017 Copyright Ron Waterworth

The sign says it all - the tide has dropped slightly by now. 21st July 2017. Copyright Ron Westwater.

Wareham Swanage
John Cornelius

Hi Keith, here's a selection of the few pics I took at Swanage yesterday.
It was mainly a diesel day, with only 'U' 2-6-0 31806 in steam.
All the steam locos were at Swanage, with maintenance being carried out
on 30053 & 80104, the rest were dead in the sidings.
The through trip from Wareham to Swanage and back with top'n'tailed diesels made it a very enjoyable visit. cheers JOHN C.
Many thanks John - very interesting

St Erth
Roy Hart

1023 County of Oxford climbs westwards out of St Erth with a Truro to Penzance local. This engine was shedded at Truro throughout the 1950s and was always the pride of the shed, kept beautifully clean. Later she was joined there by 1007 (County of Brecknock). Truro lost its 'Counties' at the end of 1959. Here, 1023 is in BR black: in later years, all counties were rebuilt with double chimneys and turned out in green. Copyright Roy Hart

Southampton
Mike Morant

We railway enthusiasts carry with us a global reputation for being a bit weird which isn't surprising with a shot like this that deserves, for us, a title like Birdcage in the Rain or some such. We know what it's about but Joe Public might wonder what sort of idiot would take a camera out in the rain to photograph a bird cage. Anyway, here we see a newly outshopped SECR birdcage in service stock photographed in inclement weather from the central island platform at Southampton Central station looking towards London. The 2H Tadpole on the right of the image is probably working the Alton service via the Watercress line. [Mike Morant collection]
