A couple of shots from this afternoon (04.09.24) on the sea wall immediately East of Teignmouth station. First 2U24 Plymouth to Cardiff Central running 3 minutes late at 15-39. Copyright Martin Scane.
And second only 4 minutes later is 66152 with 6C10 Burngullow to Exeter Riverside running some 41 minutes early. Always good to see a bit of freight action on the wall. Copyright Martin Scane.
Many thanks Martin - 2 great photos from a wonderful part of the world.

Top-and-tailed Sleeper
Joe Birchall
Dear Jon
On Monday night we heard the Sleeper go up as usual, but it sounded slightly different, so this morning I went out as usual to see the 7:07 Voyager, and the Sleeper (coming down), and it really was top and tailed, with 57 602 leading, and 57 603 on the rear.
Kind Regards
Joe

'Brian' gets a makeover

Now based at St. Blazey turntable and under the care of 'M Power Kernow', Ruston shunter 'Brian' has had a paint job and 'wasp stripes' applied. Photo by Tim Hughes, copyright Roger Winnen.
'Brian' formerly worked for LEC Refrigeration at Bognor Regis and arrived at The Bodmin & Wenford Railway in 1988. Also in this shot is a 1940 Fowler diesel shunter, 'Peter', which was purchased from the North Devon Clay Company in Meeth, also moving to Bodmin in 1988. Copyright Roger Winnen.
