Hi and thank you for your kind and very much appreciated feedback. I quite understand your affection for this locomotive. Best regards, Alan

Some really jazzy shooting George!!!!!!😂😂 Loving the Churston turntable shots, the ground crew seemed a bit disinterested and the two out of sync operators was a bit distracting😊!!! She certainly does look great in blue and even better down yonder!!! Thanks Alan for braving the Summertime heat.👍👍👍👍

Hi Bob, always love your witty feedback, I'm sure we have a lot in common, apart from the obvious! I have just added an amusing observation to the description that you might enjoy. Bear in mind that any visiting locomotive is entirely in the charge of the local crews whilst on P&DR metals and the "top link" driver, for want of a better description, is the guy in the white shirt. I have never seen him smile but I am sure that he enjoys his work! It was hot out there though and even worse for those on the footplate. Very best wishes, Alan

Such a superb collection of clips Alan, thank you :). BTW, that's me at 1:44 in the blue and dilapidated green hat by the gate on the left of the Powerderham bridge.

At least the engine didn't get stuck halfway up a steep hill. I can just imagine that happening and Lydham Manor coming to the A4's rescue, just like she had to do with no. 9 and Bittern.

Remember Scott that the diesel has to not only provide power for catering but also to get itself up the bank without adding load to the train, so it will be showing a bit of effort. Kind regards, Alan

Once again another south west visit for 60007

Most enjoyable Alan... thankyou for sweating it out. Writing Braveheart off as a 'service train' is a great disparagement: the loco is still a heritage machine, and not some DMU! One of my 'divertissements' is to trace the route of old forgotten rail lines by viewing Google Earth/Maps. Right here is a good example: the spur to the TT is on the original line to Brixham, and the old ROW can still be determined by the trees, embankments, etc. The rural parts might be walkable, I suppose, unless the landowners have claimed them back.

Hi and thank you for your kind, interesting and very much appreciated feedback. I can assure you that there was no disparagement intended, it was merely a statement of fact: whilst an excursion visits the D.S.R the regular timetable service trains take priority in order to maintain the operating schedule, much as they also have to give way to service trains on the mainline for the same reason. I must admit however that living close to the line as I do and being a shareholder of the Dartmouth Steam Railway & Riverboat Company, familiarity, though not exactly "breeding contempt" does make one a little blase' when you see the local steam trains out of your window every day! That (jokingly) said, I never forget what a priviledge that is!! Regarding your comments/question about the old Brixham Branch, I am sure that you will be more than interested in this: brixhamrailwaytrail.org.uk/ Best regards, Alan

@@Steamclips Thanks for all that, Alan. When the railway was first operating as a Heritage Line (early 70's IIRC), I used to pretty much ignore the steamer taking kids to Churston Grammar when I drove to Brixham to work, so I can relate. That simulation featured in the RailTrail link is interesting. Some work went into it, eh. BTW - if you can find a copy of the Nov '21 edition of Railway Modeller, you'll see they published my article about my Churston station model.
