End of day clay

Good evening Keith/Roger/Jon,
Here are a few of my shots of 66127 early evening at Golant and Lostwithiel.
Here are a few of my shots of 66127 early evening at Golant and Lostwithiel.
66127 passes Golant with the blue skies and the tide coming in working 6G05 1957 Fowey Dock Carne Point to St Blazey Ss. 13.05.2025, copyright Mark Lynam.
I got to Lostwithiel just in time to see it run round. 66127 passing the signal box. 13.05.2025, copyright Mark Lynam.
66127 now in the down goods loop after running round, It didn't stay in the loop for long, and so couldn't get a shot of it coming through the station as I was bowled by a stopping IET heading North. 13.05.2025, copyright Mark Lynam.
Many thanks, Mark. Classic scenes.

37240 back in the west
Steve Widdowson
After acting as the support loco for Saturday 10's Vintage Trains railtour to Plymouth, 37240 was again the westcountry on 13.05, in use to return steam loco 45596 from its recent visit to the West Somerset Railway steam Gala.
Below are a few pics of 37240 with 45596 Bahamas as they pause at Worcester Shrub Hill for water whilst working 5Z17, the 1010 Bishops Lydeard to Keighley & Wvlr.

Thanks very much, Steve. That Transrail livery will bring back memories of the class here in the west for many, I'm sure.
37240 - in a past life
Tony Shore
With some local interest stirring in 37240 following Saturdays railtour, I have dug out some photographs of it from 14-09-1990, whilst it was working the 16.38 Aberdeen - Dyce. After arriving at Dyce, the 37 was run round the stock ready to work to Montrose. A commuter service from Aberdeen. May go well on the web site.

The stock from Aberdeen is in the platform. 37240 is running around the stock to form the Montrose service via Aberdeen. 14.09.1990, copyright Tony Shore.
37240 reattaches to the stock ready to work back to Aberdeen. 14.09.1990, copyright Tony Shore.
I was on a Scottish rover, this is a copy of my haulage page. When I wrote in red it was because I required the 37 for haulage. A big loco for haulage was 37229. A Canton coal loco at the time. Copyright Tony Shore.
Many thanks indeed Tony - the opposite end of the country to our normal coverage, but very interesting to see 37240 ‘back in the day’.
