Approach to Bodmin General

Still showing the incorrect lamp code (purportedly for a branch freight!) former GWR 2-6-2T No. 5552 brings the 12.40 passenger from Bodmin Parkway up the other line to Bodmin General station on September 6, 2007. Bodmin Parkway was known until 1983 as Bodmin Road; like most GWR stations with 'Road' in the name it was miles away from the town it purported to serve!

I fired 5552 once and she was a nice little tool. Easily the best of the class that I worked on.
