Peter Kazmierczak Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Does this match Peter? https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/571957221410315556/ Phil Just picked-up this thread again Phil. When I saw it, it would've been sometime in the summer hols when I was on a railrover. My abiding memory of Falcon is standing next to her at Bristol TM eating spam sandwiches, as she departed westwards in a cloud of exhaust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Slightly off track, but I was watching something on You Tube and it showed one of the original NBL Warships (D6XX) arriving at Paddington with the Cornish Riviera. In the background was a Blue Pullman. Thought the D6XXs had finished top flight services by then, or was it a few years later they were banished to west of Newton Abbot?

The WR BP was introduced in 1960 and the D600s were still working out of Padd until mid '62, when all five were restricted to duties west of Newton Abbott.

I recall Falcon arriving at Temple Meads and the spotters fingering the cast metal bird on its side. "Watch out, he bites!" called the driver as he stepped down from the cab.
