'Keeping things moving'
Sandite/RHTT trains over the years
Julian Stephens
Part 2
11.11.1991 saw 50015 'Valiant' in her attractive 'Dutch' grey and yellow livery working the Sandite. This shot at Lostwithiel was possible because the train crew usually took a break between 8:30 pm and 9:00 pm. Copyright Julian Stephens.
On 19.11.1991, 50033 'Glorious' had her turn on the Sandite. Again seen during the pause at Lostwithiel. Copyright Julian Stephens.
Many thanks, Julian. Happily, both class 50's pictured have survived into preservation.
More images from Julian tomorrow.
