- Featuring clips in path (not date) order of: 71000, 60163 and 6024 at work on the Torbay Express during the 2011 season.
Along with well known locations, I have tried to include some "new" ones in this sample of clips. Starting with 71000 steaming along the ever popular sea wall at Teignmouth but seen from an unusual location, also passing fire damage on the P&DR, with assistance to reduce the fire hazard at Broadsands viaduct during the very dry period at the beginning of the season. Next, a sequence featuring 60163 in B.R. green, a much more appropriate colour in my opinion. Through murky summer heat, Tornado gives us a good side view as she heads up the Teign estuary towards Newton Abbot. At 164+ tons all hands are needed to get the big 8-P moving on the Churston turntable, I wonder what the 149 tons on the makers plate actually means?? Looking and sounding in perfect condition 60163 emerges from Greenway tunnel and heads for the summit at Churston Station in the early evening light, and finally, passing Preston beach, Tornado should probably be re-named "Rainstorm" after this shot as serious priming from the safety valves resulted in a downpour which soaked us all at the lineside! Lastly, and still my favourite mainline steam loco: 6024 "Spud", seen dashing down the Exe estuary, passing Powderham and Starcross in very windy conditions. The climb from Torquay to the "tunnel" at Hollacombe behind the hotels as the regulator is opened for the last time before Paignton gives a chance to hear that unmistakable exhaust blast. Finally the holidaymakers are gone, and 6024, unimpeded by a local stopper this time, puts on a great show along the Teignmouth sea wall with twelve coaches on, whistling a farewell until next year.

A very well detailed array of magestic sequences many of which you should treasure personally. The sequences I was really impressed by were 71000 along the Teignmouth from the view at Shaldon cliffs, having seen that shot done before a few times. 60163 at Preston beach and 6024 along the Exe estuary. I'm so relieved that they put on the authentic headboard on 6024 in the final run as they've been putting on a incorrect headboard which put me and a few others off
Hi and thank you for your kind comments. The tour you were on seems like a long time ago! Alan.
Another fanastic Video, the second clip, of 71000 i was on that train and she did had a good run up churston bank very well without the diesel help.
Kind words! thank you so much. Alan.
Brilliant filming and quality... love the attention to detail in your shots - very well done!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed. Alan.
Hi again, glad you enjoyed the alternative views. Alan.
Skip to August 2020, steam trains are slowly but surely returning to the main line. If you don't get to see her before Christmas, I'm sure King Edward 1st will reappear to put a smile on your face somewhere along the line. It's not the same without her, I agree. She's beautiful, she belongs to God's Wonderful Railway. Nothing surpasses her sharp bark and shrill whistle when you hear them.
I think the opportunity for "Spud" to return to the mainline this year is rapidly receding Kelly but it is something to look forward to next year. However, there is still the possibility of some running-in on the W.S.R., we shall have to wait and see. Alan
Hi and thank you for the kind comment. Take a look at uksteam website for the dates that 60163 ran on the Torbay Express. Alan
Hi Ryan: I just managed to upload before taking a short break. Glad you enjoyed the "new" locations but I have to admit that I had'nt noticed the incorrect headboard on KE1! Alan.
Ah yes,the Torbay Trinity
that's amazing Alan breaking news Alan 71000 is coming back next year but this time its now part with vintage trains
Hello Scott and thank you for news about 71000 and 60007. Don't forget 6024, also scheduled for a 2020 return. Alan
@@Steamclips yeah im now hoping to see her when it comes back alan
@@Steamclips yeah 2022 is sir nigel gresleys year of its return
Extremely good video nice to see them at different angles 5***
For an engine in the last year of its boiler ticket, 6024 looks in exemplary condition.
Awesome!
Hi Christopher and thank you for such positive feedback. Best regards, Alan
Superb.
Hi and many thanks for the kind remark. Best regards, Alan
Hi: Andrei: I agree with your comment and will mis KE1 when it goes for overhaul. Alan
I've not known anyone refer to King Edward 1st as Spud. It sounds weird to me. Is it a nickname for her? I prefer to stick to her proper name.
King Edward: potatoe (spud). A.
