Brilliant video! Good to see some many Western Region diesels in action.

Hello Henry, I enjoy watching your miniature railway videos. This was the best diesel gala I've had the pleasure to attend, it took me back to my train spotting days a Reading in the early 70's, just the Blue Pullman's missing.

@@Timsvideochannel1 You're welcome! Thank you for watching my miniature railway videos, there's a few more on the way. I'm currently in Hungary and enjoyed the railways and other interesting places there. I always wish I'd seen the real Blue Pullman, when I was a child my Grandfather gave me a Tri-ang model of a Blue Pullman so its a train which has always been in my life.

​@@HenrysAdventures Hello Henry, I wish I was in Hungary, it's got to be better than working. It's nice to be able to travel again, although my last four trips booked with the Railway Touring Company have either been rescheduled for a later date of cancelled, fortunately this one did go ahead although some of the steam hauled legs were either cancelled or a substitute diesel or electric locomotive stood in due to the very dry conditions. Non of the problems are down to RTC, its just the way things are at the moment. My next trip is to see the little trains of the Pyrenees in October. I should be getting ready to go to Poland now, but alas that is another rescheduled trip. I bought one of the Bachman Blue Pullman's to run on my model railway, it is a really good model. I still fondly remember my first train set, it was Triang, a little Blue engine called "Nellie" and three trucks. I hope you are having a great time in Hungary and I look forward to watching your adventures.

@@Timsvideochannel1 I'm glad I'm in Hungary because I seem to be escaping the worst of the heatwave. I've made a few videos of some of the places I've visited. Sorry to hear you've had your trip altered/cancelled but as you say its a number of things getting in the way. I'll look forward to seeing your videos from the Pyrenees and your other trips.

Lovely video of the diesels on such a beautiful part of the country. Unfortunately ill health prevents me visiting the line, but the video is a good way of seeing what a fantastic job everyone has made to keep this railway running. Well done and thanks to all who helped make this video.

Hi Tim, excellent footage and superb sound. Just listened with headphones... absolute magic. Subscribing now...

A very enjoyable piece of filming to watch ! This brings back memories for me as a small boy living in dawlish ...nice one !

andybyrne50 Cheers, Dawlish is one of the best places in the UK to watch trains, I used to love summer holidays in the West Country spending many happy hours at Totnes, Rattery and Dawlish watching a succession of Westerns, Warships, Peaks and Class 47's working hard with long trains full of holiday makers.

An excellent presentation. Lovely line . Have walked it many times

Cheers, I love to see the diesels from my era in action, I used to live next to the Brighton to Portsmouth line, the only mainline steam I can remember were the daily Brighton to Exeter trains and a freight that stopped most nights outside my bedroom window around 10 o'clock at night...how I wish I had photographed them. Diesel Hydraulics, Peaks and Class 47's climbing Rattery bank, watched from a campsite near the summit in the 70's, they are some of my best recollections and whilst filming this video the memories and sounds of those far off days came flooding back. The WSR and DEPG do a great job.....Tim.

It is good to see such action again on our local rails! It seems ages since we saw such things!

+ADMIRALSCORNER The West Somerset Railway is a haven for fans of Western Diesels, bringing back fond memories of train spotting at Reading station and holidays in the West Country. It must be wonderful to have these locos on your doorstep.

Good video - and great to see and hear diesel-hydraulics in action (especially for those of us who never have).

Videos of +Timsvideochannel1 are always good for surprises. In this, I realized that all at begin credited diesel locos are diesel-hydraulic type. I don't know locos of this type are being developed and run by British Rail. Finally I know why Class 42 looks something familiar to me.

You must have some good memories, I remember seeing a Warship at Chichester, usually they were replaced by a Class 33 at Salisbury. In later years the Warships also worked into Waterloo instead of being replace by a 33 at Salisbury. The sound of a Maybach engine still evokes memories of holidays in my childhood spent on a farm at Rattery where I used to watch Warships and Westerns hauling heavy holiday trains up the South Devon Banks.

It's like a lovely big train set, what?!

MotoCrazy66 Just like a train set, they are always improving it and adding accessories, such as a turntable or a new platform. They even borrow engines from other layouts. I think the expression boys and their toys just about sums up most preserved railways. Playing with trains, cars, motor cycles, cameras etc sure beats growing up .... my wife might disagree with me, but at least it gets me from under her feat.

+Timsvideochannel1 I see. Big difference to Continental Europe*) manner to show and demonstrate preserved rolling stocks. Do you have similar 'railway days' where vintage steam and other preserved locos are busy at regular services? It's called 'Plandampf'? (Plan = scedule, timetable) Meanwhile even at France they know 'Plandampf'.) *) I think at Netherlands there is/are museum line/s run by same intention of historical sceneries like at UK.

+ Pega17pl No we don't have Plandampf in the UK, although there are some scheduled steam trains in Scotland between Fort William and Mallaig and some routes in England have regular steam trains during the summer months such as trains to Kingswear and Dartmouth. There are one off steam tours on most routes in the UK. Preserved railways have Gala weekends when it is possible to see up to 10 engines in steam.
