Penzance Summer '82

[diyceejay]

Hello!

I started modelling my n-gauge layout on Penzance in 1982...and after a slight hiatus(40 years), I have taken it up again.

I have many questions, and would start with asking if anybody can shed light on whether DMU's were at Penzance in the summer of 82. I can find only one in the timetable - a late night arrival from St Erth, for stabling at Penzance I presume? There doesn't seem to be any others featured in the May-Oct timetable of 82. I suppose a WTT would be the answer here - does anybody have one they could look at for me?

Thanks in anticipation.

You could try either the NRM or Newton Abbot library for viewing working timetables.

The closest WTT I have is the Section PC for 4 October 1982 to 15 May 1983,

the only DMU shown there is 5B89 07.00 ECS to St Erth, and 2B48 21.05 ex St Erth (arr 21.14),

 

cheers

Thank you very much everyone. I don't suppose anyone knows of a fileshare or similar for timetables and info on this site do they? I have 1H81, 2H82, platform 5 loco hauled trains 1982, hst workings 1982 etc which I'd be happy to scan and share for example. I can't get wtt mentioned above for this period so hoping this is feasible...
