The 12CSVT power unit can be seen to good effect in this shot of a sectioned 37519 on the 1st March 2008. Whilst being considerably smaller than the class 50's 16CSVT, the unit shares many common components, as such examples of the 12 CSVT have provided a number of spares for 29 and 30.

The 5th of April 2008 was the day of the Bodmin and Wenford Railway diesel gala, but it also saw D1015 Western Champion working1Z52 "The Royal Duchy" 7.12 Paddington to Penzance charter, which provided another good reason to be in Cornwall that day. Here the return working 1Z53 15.20 Penzance to Paddington is seen storming through Restormel just north of Lostwithiel in a lucky patch of sun.

RRRG members currently own three coaches. The closest vehicle in the above picture is being used as a spares storage vehicle. It is currently in IntercCity livery, but a start has been made this summer on restoring its bodywork and repainting it. This is being undertaken on an as and when basis (and is obviously weather dependant) so as not to slow progress with 50030. The vehicle in the background is another Mark 1 BG no 80777 which is also owned by an RRRG member and is in the process of being restored to operational condition by Peak Rail staff for use on the operational rake. 18th October 2009.

The other end of the E80777 is seen showing the excellent condition that the vehicle is being restored to. 18th October 2009.
