Thanks for the footage.Brilliant 😊 nice to see 33and 37 loco there ballast wagons although mainly no 33 ran in the area.very good though, nice one.❤ Stephen.
Interesting that at 6:11 it appears to show a class 47 on the "Gen Set", i.e. a rake of HST coaches with the generator van at one end and a standard coach, in this case an NSE liveried Mk2, on the other. I didn't realise it was still in use that late, unless it's an ECS move using a BG not the generator van.
Yes as reply below Okehampton station is alive and well...one of a few success stories....Many thanks for watching and best wishes for a fantastic and safe 2024....Mark

You're very welcome Stephen/Steven and best wishes for Christmas....Mark
Being a Donny lad and bought up in a railway town it was lovely to see this train live close by. Now got train to Exeter every hour. Brilliant
Many thanks and best regards to you as always...Mark
Wow this is incredible. Before the old buildings were turned into outdoor adventure centre, all the old goods yard lines still there. Awesome video
Many thanks Jason....not been back there since 1992.....best wishes...mark
Just great footage Mark. You'd be lucky to see any freight around there these days.
Thanks for sharing

Next plan is to go beyond to Tavistock Jn, providing sprawling housing estates don't snatch the land first.
