I have come across a small selection of interesting colour photographs taken by Ian Dinmore. All are on the Railscot site. Three show weathered clay wagons and one is of the water trough at Pencarrow Woods with no train obscuring the view.
Boscarne Junction with a view of a short clay train from the guards van taken in 1982 here which also shows excellent detail/condition of the inside of a empty clay wagon.
Bodmin General with empty clayhoods here
Pencarrow Woods water trough here This is the first photo I've seen without a train in shot. Must have been taken from a Guards van.
Dunmere level crossing here
I like the last two photographs as they do show the intimacy that this line had with its surroundings. I do hope I will be able to portray this intimacy on Tredethy Wharf.
You just have to re-create that level crossing scene. That just screams atmosphere. Why, even I could fall for the charms of that picture...
