50042 "TRIUMPH" During Bodmin Railway's Diesel Gala 27/09/2025

Whilst in Cornwall I decided to spend the day at the Bodmin Railway Diesel Gala before I headed home. The forecast for the day was cloudy with heavy rain expected but I took the risk and luckily despite the dark sky's the rain kept away. Enjoyable day at this Railway despite the usual line side growth I managed to come away with a few shots . BR Class 50 Co-Co No. D442/50042 'Triumph' Built: 1968, English Electric Vulcan Foundry Livery: BR large Logo, Black Roof Condition: In service The Class 50’s were built by English Electric for BR in 1968 for use on the West Coast Main Line prior to electrification. The class were transferred during the mid-to-late 70’s to the Western Region where they put their power to good use on our gradients. Withdrawn in 1990 the Bodmin Mainline Diesel Group bought the loco in 1991 and restored it to pristine condition in 1993. It currently sports a BR Blue Large Logo livery with a black roof, typical of a Laira based engine which 50042 was during it’s time in the Westcountry.
