43070 'The Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers' leads the 1C86 15.06 Paddington to Penzance along the side of the Exe Estuary at Stracross station. When I was lad aged 15, I camped for a night at Starcross at the far end of the promenade in this picture just before the trees when undertaking a tour of the West of England mainline by bike. A two-part article about this epic trip appeared in Traction Magazine.
