The Way We Were: China Clay 1976

            Strolling along the sea wall at Teignmouth one May afternoon in 1976, mindful that maybe the approaching 1330 Paddington - Penzance may be 'Wizzo' hauled (it was a good bet at the time) when to my amazement the clay empties emerge from Parsons Tunnel with 'Fusebox' at the helm. It is not often you get such a good surprise! For the uninitiated, this is Class 52 No. 1023 'Western Fusilier' heading the Etruria - St. Blazey china clay empties. And for anyone interest, the 1330 had 'Gauntlet' up front! Oh! Happy Day!! Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
