BR diesel loco on St. Pinnock Viaduct

1033 'Western Trooper' on St. Pinnock Viaduct - 8th May, 1976
What a weekend that was! My Mam and Dad had gone on a package type holiday to somewhere like Malta and gave me the keys to a Datsun 120Y and said, 'just use it for going to work' so of course I booked the Friday off on the Bank Holiday weekend and Mr Heyl, Mr Jackson and myself went to Cornwall to do some linesides, get a B&B in Truro and do the first loco hauled Falmouth - Paddington for many years! Sadly, 50050 worked that when it was down for a 'whizzo', we did the branch with it and learned later that it failed before reaching Paddington!
