Garry Morris Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) The second visit of 59202 Alan Meddows Taylor to Cornwall seen as it crosses Forder viaduct with support coach 21269 for Tornado 29.5.17. This loco worked a sand train from Methrose (near Burngulow) 19.8.13 Sister loco 59204 has also entered Cornwall once and 59205 was once recorded on the fuel tanks a few years ago. They were the forerunners of the Class 66. Other class of 59's to visit the Duchy include 59001 and 59101 to Penzance on a Railtour 28.5.01 and 59005 to Burngullow 16.12.13.

brianusa Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Quite a sylvan scene and the track certainly looks in better shape than in time past. Brian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) 150002 at Forder. I am told that this unit has never worked to Penzance before, it has been allocated to Reading for the Basingstoke services along with 001. A dmu with a centre car is a rarity this far west. The 59, Tornado and this all passed within 10 minutes along with the retro liveried 43002. Edited June 1, 2017 by Garry Morris 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris M Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Just out of the box 70815 in the woods at Moorswater 31.5.17 I hate to see people using locos straight out the box, they always look more realistic with a bit of weathering. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Direct Rail Services 37218 & 37259 working 0Z09 up through Saltash on Tuesday 15th May 2018. The locomotives had worked down the day before, therefore, this was the return leg of a route refresher/learner diagram between Penzance Slopers and Crewe Gresty Bridge Depot. There are some railtours planned in the summer that DRS are working. Edited May 16, 2018 by Garry Morris 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that DRS is running The Marches Cornishman in September but would you be able to say what other tours DRS is working on in cornwall? Thanks, Samuel.

Garry Morris Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Reading Triangle to Paignton via Penzance recorded at Liskeard 67027 and 67023 29.6.18. For those elsewhere in the world we are in a heatwave at the moment. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Morris Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 The Buffet car is to be no more in Cornwall except on the sleeper when the AT300 Class 802s take over. Three vehicles three liveries! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Mundane today, gone tomorrow. HST power cars have reigned supreme on the Cornish Riviera Express in five decades. 43029 and another anonymous workhorse do the honours 29.6.18 Liskeard. We still have the pivoted up starter! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
