The signal up for the 'Pemberton Bypass'?

David, wonderful photograph of a Stanier or Fairburn tank (can't tell which), about half a mile out of Pem station. This is the place where I spent hours as a child watching and then spotting the trains. Brings back so many memories.
Have you any more photos of trains around the Pem area?
You were on the crossing taking this fantastic photo...
Any chance of a copy?

Why did you not take photo when train was nearer, you would have got a better picture.

David. I am writing a book about my railway career, and I worked in this box as a relief signalman. can I use this photograph?
