I had no idea the Torrington was a 3 foot gauge line. You learn something new every day.

You must be easy to please then, as you're the only person to comment on here.

Just look at that neat ballast. No weeds, trees nothing untoward.

Could do with a banking engine , doing the 1 in 37 up to Queen Street. That is a very cruel gradient.

Which town is that at 6.45?

Think its the climb from Exeter Central to Exeter Queen Street
