RMweb Premium alexross42 Posted July 3, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 3, 2020 The passing of the NRMT train through Saltash coincided nicely with my lunch break today, even though it was some 27 minutes early! It made a nice burst of colour under rather gloomy skies, as well as being a welcome change from GWR green. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treggyman Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi First time in ages I ventured out to take a pic or two & also saw the Network rail NMT running but in my case at Pool (between Redruth/Camborne) It was preceded by two service on in each direction...... The photo's aren't brilliant as I saw my grandson on Monday & was asked if he could borrow my camera & telephoto lens..... Upon agreeing I was then told of the running of this train so was left with camera No 2 & general purpose lens !!!!!...Hey Ho..... Unfortunately I didn't get the numbers as with this camera the came out too blurred to read. 67027 & 67123 passed at just after 11am on their way to Penzance.

RMweb Premium alexross42 Posted September 2, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) A nice splash of red through Saltash earlier today with 66128 leading the 1432 Parkandillack to Exeter Riverside Yard service, running 64 early.

treggyman Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi My Grandson & I went on a jaunt today as he wanted to see some 'China clay action' As he goes back to school next week & the CDA's hadn't been running regularly we decided that today would be a good day given the info we'd researched. Unlike alexross42 we had grotty weather.....Drizzle & poor light...... However watching & taking pictures of trains raises the spirits so..... We got to Par to try & catch the Parkandillack to Bescot..... The first portion ran yesterday as alexross42 captured at Saltash with 11 JIA's on The remaining 3 ran today arriving at Par to be recessed in Chapel siding..... Saves a run to StBlazey depot & back as no other traffic needed collecting..... 66128 following a signal stop is signalled into platform 3 with 3 JIA's The train is then signalled into Chapel siding...Note the 'ground signal' on the bracket signal..... A very helpfull chap...Either DBS or Network rail (he was wearing orange high vis but I did'nt notice the company logo ) very kindly provided info on when the train was due to leave & also told us of the imminent arrival of the Goonbarrow CDA's..... 66020 was on the train with 38 CDA's in tow We the went to Golant to watch the train there.... A quick trip to Lostwithiel to see what the Westbury to Truro freight was..... On our way home we stopped to view the now derelict site that once was Burngullow.... One point of interest is that the loop off the line in from Parkindillack looks as though it is still used as the rails are still bright.... But by what? A good day was had..... We saw full range of passenger stock currently in use on the main line in Cornwall... Castle class HST ,Voyager,5 & 10 car IEP , 158 & 150 (153'S went last year)..... Grotty weather but a good day & many thanks to my Grandson Christopher for being good company & keeping us updated on Realtime trains on his newfangled mobile....

brianusa Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 There was a picture recently on the CRS site, of a train in that very loop! Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treggyman Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi All My grandson 'dragged' me out (kicking & screaming of course ) to see the Cornish Riviera Express today that ran from Penzance to Kingswear & back. We went to Cooks Kitchen bridge which is just beyond the bridge over Brea viliage on the Redruth side. It's quite a good vantage point to see trains working but not necessarily the best for picture taking or identifying loco numbers. Normally there are only a couple of other people there but today there were about 9 or 10 plus my grandson ,me & my dog.... We just missed a 150 going down to Penzance but saw the preceeding IEP.....Whose number I couldn't see..... The driver has a most impressive beard....I almost thought I was looking in the mirror..... The dog was being very patient but I thought he deserved a bit more exercise so I walked along the embankment to where I assume the Dolcoath Creamery siding once was..... Not a bad spot but as I'd not taken pictures from there before I didn't quite get the position quite right... We then went home & had an operating session on my layout Hendra followed by a pasty for lunch.... All in all a good day had by all....

RMweb Premium Not Captain Kernow Posted September 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) That was North Crofty Junction Bill, start of the North Crofty branch.

My nephew Tom & I used to use the location to take pictures from regularly & somehow it got into my head that was the location of the sidings though I could never figure out how the location could fit into the topography of the area.... Thanks again for the info..... Cheers Bill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Not tried those ones either. Being Gluten free these days does limit the choice. We did get a really good one I Tintagel last month at a little cafe opposite the road down to the castle. I tried an oggie one last year in Falmouth wasn't impressed. Over priced under filled. Growing up in a Cornish enclave in the South lakes I didn't know what a pie was until I was about 10. These days the only places you get one is the coop or Greg's nether are gluten free or what I would call a proper pastie. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
