Remembering
Sid Sponheimer
Sid Sponheimer
We remember Sid, who is sadly missed both for his regular input to the website and for the many pictures of his which remain on the website - a lasting tribute. Shortly before he passed away on the 23rd August 2017 Sid sorted with his daughter, Lisa, a final collection of pictures pertinent to his local area at Tremar, Liskeard. These are contained in our features section and repeated in the section dealing with The Liskard and Caradon Railway. Two of Sids pictures seen on the October home page.

As is often the case, September is a super month for clear crisp light. A few pictures from my travels.
All the best, Craig. Many thanks Craig.

At Goonbarrow with 66206 arriving with the empty wagons from Carne Point. 25th September 2017. Copyright Craig Munday. N.B. The telephone kiosk gives the location away.
153333 departs from Goonbarrow with the Par to Newquay service. 25th September 2017 Copyright Craig Munday. A very nice colourful shot.
70810 worked the Moorswater Cement on 28th September 2017. The bulk of these machines can be appreciated on the road crossing. The previous class 22's and 25's a much more suitable traction. Though the power of these monsters makes rather light work of the gradient up to Liskeard.

D1013 Western Ranger looking rather grubby approaches Marazion with a down parcels train on 20th April 1974. Note - this is before it gained its red painted nameplates which made it a 'one off'. Copyright Roger Winnen
