12th May 1990
I did all too little photography of the South Wales branches and my only pictures on the line from Lime Kiln Junction near Newport to Oakdale Colliery are those showing The Caerwent Cannonball 2 DMU tour that ran on 12 May 1990. My notes give no indication at all of the various locations visited so the captions are necessarily vague. Two DMUs, a two car Class 118 (51315/51330) and a three car Class 116/108 hybrid (51133/59248/51136), were used and a headboard was carried on each end to make life easier for the crew during the several reversals on the other branches covered during the day. This view was taken not far from the start of the branch passing some architecture typical of the area. Peter Tandy.

The branch to Oakdale Colliery passed through some dense woodland as seen in this image of the tour in a heavily overgrown valley. The lack of recent traffic is shown well both by the rusty trackwork and the weeds beginning to encroach on the rails themselves. Peter Tandy.

In this shot the train was about to enter Penar Tunnel. The structure immediately in front of the tunnel mouth appears to be a cast iron aqueduct carrying a stream across the line which would have had to have been diverted when the branch was cut out of the hillside. Peter Tandy.
12th May 1990
My last shot on the Oakdale branch on 12 May 1990 was as the Caerwent Cannonball 2 (formed 51315/51330 + 51133/59248/51136) ran downhill and about to pass the Eagle Inn. I recall that the learner driver in what I think is a Talbot pulled out into the road making the white Fiesta make a rapid avoiding move to avoid an incident! Peter Tandy.

11th November 1990
Set: B469
B469 deep inside Vic Berrys stack, Leicester 11-11-90. "This is one of my most memorable shots I've taken. Not because its particulary breathtaking to look at, but because of the effort I went to to get it and its quite artistic. I saw the potential the week before, so next time I set off to VBs I was armed with a tripod. I had to clamber deep into the stack where it was as black as hell! It really was like caving! I had to feel my way round the camera - I could hardly see it! I ran off various exposures to get the right one, this being 8sec f5.6 64asa. I just wish I knew the vehicle number, its either 51311 or 51326. I searched all over it to find its number, even inside it, but no luck! Hopefully evidence will turn up in the future." It has now been identified as 51326. Kevin Dowd.
