D1040 Western Queen leaving Mutley Tunnel on the Cornishman 28th June 2014 en-route to Penzance.
The Return Leg. Apparently the loco had a split personality, with Champion on one side and Queen on the other.
Western Champion/Queen at Plymouth North Road.

GWR Castle Class No. 5029 'Nunney Castle' on the Torbay Express and Black 5 No. 45407 'Lancashire Fusilier' on the Royal Duchy
Approximate timings for Dawlish are:
Torbay Express 11.15 hrs
Royal Duchy 11.25 hrs.
It's best to get there at least 30 minutes before hand as they often run early.
I hope to be at Dawlish if I can get there in time.
