It’s sooooo good to see Gresley again
-
For the 1st time this year, Gresley A4 No. 60007 ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’ with the "English Riviera Express" on a short trip to the English Riviera. For those onboard, it was a sunny day out to the stunning harbours of Kingswear and Dartmouth, for me, a simply lovely day of filming. Gresley looked fabulous along the English Riviera. Shots were taken at:
00:00 Gresley Slips and Shines
00:10 Starcross
03:05 Goodrington Sands
05:12 Churston Turntable
05:22 7827 for Kingswear
06:15 Gresley rolling onto the Turntable
07:27 Spun-around
10:19 Giving way to 7827
11:34 60007 coasts to Kingswear
12:15 Kingswear for Dartmouth
12:36 Gresley leaves for Taunton
16:45 Racing through Cockwood Harbour
There was no shortage of whistles in this film.
I hope you enjoy watching this. If you did, please like, comment and subscribe, it really is rather flattering.

Thanks, it's one of the best shots I've taken all year! I couldn't believe how good it was, I kept watching it over and over again. It's actually taken at Starcross, in the Exe Estuary. I was standing on a very narrow pier, fortunately, all to myself.

Superb camera work 👌 The shot leaving Kingswear is perfect, a blue A4 in the sunshine on a rake of blood and custards really looks the part, the backdrop of the seaside and town behind on the hill is gorgeous
Great to see such a magnificent engine in action, thank you.

Great footage! Love the turntable shot, it's like having a model in front of you, but a real one!
Brilliant. Many thanks Nick.

Not my channel; you need to thank the (no longer teenage) getaway driver!
0:55 I like the way the driver of the 150/2 gives the horn sound to sir Nigel gresley after it sounded the whistle
Did see this yesterday with my little grandson ❤️
Excellent filming
Some brilliant shots of 60007! I loved seeing this magnificent engine's return to the South West. I wish I had chased it now, however I did see it at Newton Abbot and Dawlish, so I am happy.

Dawlish is a good spot, thanks
We were lucky enough to see this go past near Exeter! Totally unexpected but I recognised it from the whistle sound... Great video, thank you.

@@steamtothewest-trecanrail What a great website, thank you! We will actually be on The Royal Duchy trip on 1st September, so we'll wave at any cameras we see :-)
The final two shots, leaving Kingswear and speeding past Cockwood Harbour, are the bee's knees 🐝

Thank you, its a very good locomotive
would look even better on the line to Aberdeen 🏴
Excellent engine and photography. The fact that there is a diesel on the back makes any performance / slipping on banks irrelevant.

It's just there really for supplying electrical power to the train and shunting the train at Kingswear. It seemed to be providing minimal assistance, if that

@@AndreiTupolev That may be the case. But there is quite a gradient there unlikely it would pull a heavy train plus a 140 ton loco up that bank. In the case of Hemerdon diesels on the back certainly supply a shove. The class 66 clay trains only go up that bank with half a load....then go back for the other half, re-couple and take the fully loaded train on to Stoke.
