City of Truro at Kingscote in the rain, just shunted for the reverse facing leg to Horsted Keynes |
Lee took this of me with the wide angle - trying not to get the lens wet was very difficult, until I borrowed Sarah's brolly...! |

The lovely 1638 shunting to join the train for the reverse run back to Horsted Keynes |
80151 (wearing 80154 for some reason!) arriving from Kingscote makes up the 4th passenger train for the public to ride on |
The afternoon pairing was reversed, so the Earl led the City of Truro... |
