Coombe No2 GF

youtu.be/WRfs_7encsE
70809 gingerly creeps along the Moorswater branch at Coombe No2 Ground Frame with the 0250 Aberthaw to Moorswater Cements. The branch is deep in Cornish woodland and is a spur off the Looe branch.
I had travelled into Cornwall primarily to photograph 37425 which was booked to run to Penzance and back from Plymouth on a crew training trip with freshly applied Regional Railways livery. My plan was to go to PZ for a shot of her under the covered roof but found out she was going into platform 4 which was outside so pulled the plug on that idea. I was suspicious that todays trip might be caped due to the wheel flat she developed yesterday, this turned out to indeed be the case as the trip was cancelled and she headed into Laira presumable for a spell on the lathe.
It turned out that the 70 wasn't the highlight of the day as I bumped into John Vaughan, those of a certain age will know him well. In a previous life I used to make rail videos and also supply material for TVP, Visions International and Locomaster Profiles. One of my videos was a video version of one of Johns books that being Diesels in the Duchy. John introduced the video for me and Peter Doel did the narration, 27 years ago...flippin eck.
