<p>A second shot captured at Par on a very grey and dull 16 March 2024 shows how different the view west of the station is now since the re-signalling project was completed a few days earlier, just behind the train is a signal post devoid of its two semaphore signals, I presume that at some time in the future it will be demolished, possibly the next time there is a line closure in the area. For the record, 43004 'Caerphilly Castle' leads 2P90, the 13.15 Penzance to Plymouth, 43189 'Launceston Castle' is at the rear.</p>

<p>Caerphilly Castle is a medieval fortress located in the town of Caerphilly in South Wales. It was built by Gilbert de Clare in the 13th century as part of his campaign to control Glamorgan and to resist the Welsh prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. The castle covers an area of 12 hectares and is surrounded by artificial lakes that form part of its defences. It is famous for its concentric design, with multiple rings of walls and towers, and for its leaning tower, which was damaged by gunpowder during the Civil War. The castle is now managed by Cadw and is open to visitors.<br />
<br />
One of the most impressive features of Caerphilly Castle is its water defences, which consist of two artificial lakes and a moat that surround the castle. The lakes were created by damming the nearby river and cutting through a gravel spur. The water defences made the castle immune to tunnelling and siege engines, and also provided a stunning backdrop for the 13th century castle.<br />
<br />
The South Lake covers the southern side of the castle and protects the Central Island and the Western Island, where the main buildings and defences are located. The South Lake also adds to the beauty and mystery of the castle, which appears to float on the water. Caerphilly Castle is the largest castle in Wales and the second-largest in Britain.<br />

With only three occasionally four 2+4 'Castle Class' mini HST sets currently in mainstream service, catching one in true daylight is actually quite a challenge in mid-November, then there's the weather.<br />
<br />
Class '5' ECS to my rescue, also aided by it's +20 running, another stroke of fortune.<br />
