SCENIC WSR STEAM JOURNEY FROM WILLITON TO MINEHEAD 11 JUNE 2024
It was standing room only on the first train today. I could only film from whatever open window was not already occupied by other photographers. There was a strong breeze coming in from the sea so some segments with interesting content unfortunately had to be deleted owing to the excessive wind noise spoiling the video!

All those sounds and sights of steam locomotion make it really evocative Mike -just like being there !

Thanks Al. That is what I aim to achieve, glad I have!
I understand your frustration. Strong winds can be a nuisance. I've suffered a very different frustration to this. A certain factory team are taking far too long to release the second batch of new Dapol Manor models. I've had my pre-order of Foxcote Manor cancelled, thanks to Rails of Sheffield for obliging at my request. But fear not. I resorted to Plan B and bought a new model of Hinton Manor (still available to purchase), plus some Foxcote Manor name and numberplates from Silver Tay Models, ebay, and now new Hinton Manor has been turned into my beloved Foxcote Manor. I'm very pleased with myself for doing this.

Thanks to you too Terry. Glad you liked what you saw.
It must be lovely to stay in one of those caravans or even a camping coach at Blue Anchor.

Me and my wife had a holiday in one of the static caravans at Blue Anchor last year. We were about 50 yards from the train line and 50 yards from the beach. Best holiday we’ve ever had.

Thanks Percy. We hope you are surviving those high temperatures out there in Greece that we are hearing about on our news.
Excellent video, and thankfully, seems to be good numbers on the trains. It is peak season for you (or almost: I assume August is busiest).

Travelling numbers are quite high this year which is good news!
What a nice trip Mike .. great to see and hear the steam locos again ... and put those DM things back in the sheds where they belong .. The country side looks nice and green now .. looks like summer is here even if it's been windy and cold ... Didn't Val go with you this time ?

Val is currently away visiting her sister so was not on this journey. It was very satisfying to ride behind steam again.
Great video admiral! Keep it up!

I prefer the passenger's view over the driver's view in a video.

That is what we normally experience when visiting the railway so is more typical.
