Where are these please?

More images that I have no location for. I think they were all taken on 20/11/1983 by someone who travelled on the Cornish Branches railtour, details of which are on the Six Bells Junction website. They should be in an 'as shot' order.
Update 18/05/2014. Images 1,2, 5 and 6 are all from the Coed Bach Connection Railtour of 08/10/1983. Further info under each image.

An update to try and clear some confusion

It has been suggested that number 1 above is in Wales and nothing to do with the Cornish Branches tour, which doesn't surprise me. Number 1 above is number 3 in the sequence, numbers 1 and 2 in the sequence now appended below. Image 2 above is number 8 in the sequence, so could very well be Welsh as well. I do have a gap in the sequence from 9 to 16. I'm coming round to the fact that the only Cornish images is numbers 3 and 4 and all the others are from the Glamorgan Freighter railtour of 05/11/1983.
I still don't have clue regarding locations!
Aberthaw Power Station. The nearest loco is Peckett 5014, the further a Drewry class 04 lookalike, RSH 8199.
5. This is number 1 in the slide sequence
