Me encantaria conocer este maravilloso ferrocarril. Gracias por compartir este video. I'd like ti know this wonderful railway. Thanks for sharing this spectacular video
Using a coal truck to act both as a coupling extender to pull the loco off the truckbed, and act as additional braking weight? well, if it works it works.
ugh...Lyd FINALLY became Lew. As Festipedia says: ''Lyd is a close replica of Lew, one of the 2-6-2Ts of the legendary Lynton & Barnstaple Railway in Devon, closed in 1935. As there is a possibility (increasingly remote) that Lew may still exist in South America, where the engine was shipped after the L&B closed, a new name has been chosen.'' I'm not angry, it's just that if they based it off Lew, then why didn't they use the old name in the first place? I believe the original was scrapped along with the original Lyn, Yeo, Exe and Taw....if not, it's probably more logical than assuming it was saved.
Beautiful Video - nicely shot - but is screaming out for some "colour" !! Please add some commentary or at least something descriptive regarding restoration/locating of engines / carriages /track etc etc - a couple of shots of plaques isn't enough!
Just Pure Magic!!

Small but perfectly formed!! An absolute belter!
It was great to meet you yesterday James and to see this historic video. So glad the Gala had better weather this year!
Thanks for coming. I liked your photo of me so much I used it as my profile picture.

Great effort from passionate volunteers
Great footage of a great railway reborn...Well done all!
Stunning. Dramatic. Glorious! Well done James👍👍👍
wonderful, wonderful.
I'm glad to see this line rapidly coming back to life, hope to visit there one day. Fairly difficult as I'm in the south-east
Wonderful! I'm so glad they got it back.
Only part of it.
Thank you from exiles and steam fans in Canada
You're very welcome. I like to hear of interest in the L&B worldwide
Terrific stuff, Thank You
Wonderful footage James - much appreciated

Oh, złota angielska jesień... the golden English Autumn!
10:40 I want to build a narrow gauge model railway just for that loco and stock setup! :-)
We're down in Devon in September 2020. Will it be ok to bring our dog up to the railway to travel on for the day? Hope so?
Sorry I'm slow replying. YES! WE LOVE DOGS😀 Hope you visited?
At 17.59 are those the original SR concrete fence posts ?
They are genuine SR fence posts but not from this location. From memory I think these were removed from the Exeter to Barnstaple line
What class of locomotive is the Lynton and Barnstable Manning Wardle locomotive specifically. I need to know.
I don't think they could be give a class. They were three unique locos later joined by a fourth.

There's always the possibility that the original LEW is still around so LYD took another 3 letter Devon river as its name
@@mattlander9119 It's too...far off, in m opinion.
Also hello, old me

You're quite right, somehow my description got deleted. It's back now, hope it adds some background and historical information.
