Freightliner at North Perrott
Bill Elston
Hi Roger,

Another load of ballast for Honiton Tunnel ran today, and is seen passing North Perrott, again double-headed by Freightliner 66s
66601 and one other.  No doubt someone in the Westbury area can identify it.

Best wishes,

Bill.

Hello Bill
Cathy Vincent writes to say that the second locomotive is 66952
Many thanks Cathy

North Cornwall Line
Tresmeer and Egloskerry Stations
Andrew Triggs
Hi Roger
While up in the Launceston area today, I visited the former N.C.R stations at Tresmeer and Egloskerry, now private residences but still remarkably intact some 58 years after closure, although I've visited Tresmeer before it was the first time I'd located Egloskerry 
All the Best 
Andrew
