Nunney Castle passing through Teignmouth station. It was a jolly close call for the photograph as the 166 Paignton to Exmouth service had literally just crawled to a stop. 21.06.2025, copyright Martin Scane.
Many thanks all - great to see.

Re: D1660 'City of Truro'
Ken Mumford

t's very interesting when One goes through OLD memory cards.

I found these two of THE WEYMOUTH WIZARD which went from Swidon to Weymouth one Saturday - over 40 years ago - I can't emember the date.

These are prints scanned from a 35mm slide.

Thanks Guy. I imagine GWR will be glad to see it back.

A lovely atmospheric shot, Phil - many thanks indeed.

A few more from Dawlish

Unsurprisingly there were plenty of people out given that it was the hottest day of the year (so far!) 43098 applies the power and begins its journey West with 2C20. 18.06.2025, copyright Steve Clark.

The Classic wider view has been lost with higher black railings installed but the backdrop remains unchanged. 43098 'Walton Castle' leads GW06 set with 43004 'Caerphilly Castle' on the rear. 18.06.2025, copyright Steve Clark.
