Saturday Wanderings
Clive Smith
The sun shone on Saturday afternoon so I decided to capture HSTs in action at Menheniot and then catching the low evening light at Dockyard Halt.

HST on Coldrenick Viaduct. 43189 on the left leading the 2C53 14.43 Plymouth - Penzance with 43092 on the rear. A tight fit and I wasn't sure I was going to get it all in. 11.10.2025, copyright Clive Smith.

Not-so-silver bullets
Steve Clark
Now that I live in a different part of the Country, some photos i had previously taken have a different meaning, such as this shot taken at Night at Carlisle. It shows 66205 pausing in the centre road with the Burngullow to Irvine China Clay slurry on the last leg of its journey North to Scotland, taken in February 2003. Copyright Steve Clark.
Many thanks Steve - well outside our region but a huge Cornish connection. The silver bullets still sorely missed by enthusiasts all these years later.
