Onslow Peak
Roger Geach
46010 on 1A79, the 14:30 Penzance to Paddington service, near Onslow Sidings in the Fowey Valley. The Peak will work this train as far as Plymouth. Peaks were not uncommon on Paddington trains in Cornwall, as a locomotive change took place at Plymouth in those days. Saturday, 22 May 1976. Photo by my late friend Tony Gale of Exeter.

Many thanks Roger - the Glynn Valley an unmistakable location.
