pb_devon Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Photo opportunity? Sightseeing for the traincrew? Possibly keeping out of the way of sevice trains eg. a down Gunnislake? All good suggestions T_T. I'd add one more - the crossover wasn't operable, hence keeping to the down. However (based on my experience operating the branch), I'd go with the first two. If the latter, they'd just keep the loco on the dockyard branch until it was suitable to move out. I have bad memories of freezing winter nights hanging around at the Junction in such situations!

combe rail Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 A few more from Ilfracombe. Ilfracombe - 007.jpg The brick structures in the foreground are the remains of the Water Tower and Coal Stage. Ilfracombe - 008.jpg A through train waits for departure time, note the Buffet Car immediately behind the engine. Ilfracombe - 009.jpg An unidentified Warship pulls away with a through service to Paddington. Ilfracombe - 010.jpg D810 Cockade gets to grips with the 1 in 36 gradient up to Mortehoe. Ilfracombe - 012.jpg Looking down on Cairne Top Bridge as D810 digs in for the climb ahead. Ilfracombe - 013.jpg D810 heads slowly away up the Slade Valley towards Mortehoe and yes I was authorised to be on the track. Nigel I'd like to ask permission to use these photos in Combe Rail's newsletter. Thanks, Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
