Yes, that's the line from Newquay that I'm basing my imaginary Layout on, I never realised it was such a gradient on that sharp curve. Interesting. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, As you know Ian, 90's was the original plan, and Double headed 37 etc would have been really good, but I'm also hooked on 70's and Colas, and the PINK DB. haha. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the photo of DB Cargo 66200 whilst standing on the down platform at Par, virtually opposite the signal box. It was taken with a telephoto lens, so the locomotive is positioned probably 100 yards or so outside Par station, in the direction of St Austell, i.e. looking west. The 66 is stabled on what I believe is a loop line that is parallel to the main line. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a siding anyway- not a loop. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have ENOUGH LOCOS and SO I DON'T NEED TO BUY ANY MORE. Not even some 25s so you can back date your railway to the blue period, or even better some panniers for the proper period. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
