We were on Holiday for a week in Cornwall and fortunately that week coincided with several “railway” events, one of these was the visit of the replica Lynton & Barnstaple loco “Lyd” to the Launceston Steam Railway. During the time of our visit it was only moving around the station area, but did work trains later in the day. The loco had only been completed during the summer and is still in plain black but will be painted green at a later date. The loco working trains was Hunslet “Covertcoat”.
We had just finished eating lunch at the station as the train returned from Newmills, the plan wasn’t to travel but as the passengers got off KC was ready to jump on, so I had to buy some tickets for a ride!!
“Lyd” is seen reversing through the station:-
