Thank you massively for uploading both this and the previous volume. I recall watching these for the first time along with a few others in a massive 7 or 8 hour compilation of Ivo's cinematography, which I already as some of the best steam-era railway footage I'd ever seen, thanks in no small part to two of the 3 documentaries about the S&D, which speaking as a New Zealander, has been a railway line which has always fascinated me, and I have read as much as I could about it from books or any kind of physical documentation I could get my hands on. Plus being of course able to travel and appreciate the northern section of the route (between Bath and Templecombe) as it had existed in it's heyday thanks to Train Simulator. (as minor sidenote, I am hugely excited for newest and hopefully most accurate revision of the route due to come out at some point this year.) Following your upload of the first volume, I would've advocated for you to upload the second, but it is my understanding that uploading content like this is still technically illegal, therefore I didn't to encourage actions that could lead to your channel's termination.
32:32 Thank you for both of these and it's especially interesting for me to see the lifted sidings at Shillingstone 33:33. They've just got permission and funds to extend the reinvigorated North Dorset Railway trust heritage tracks back toeards Stur. Over a road bridge which is apparently no mean feat in these litigious days. The next problem is the tennis court someone plonked right on top of the lovely solid foundations of the permanent way just along the line!
The sad thing was they didn't preserve the permanat way even if they lifted the track and removed bridges, some beautiful viaducts along the route. I was at boaring school in Shafteabury in the later half of 1970s and took the bus from Bournmouth which went past alot of the villages that had stations along the route. Thank you for posting this, a really enjoyable watch
The viaducts around Shepton remain, the one over the Baby Sham factory stands, I think the Prestleigh one went in the 90s? Permanent way is track by the way!
I recall seemingly waiting ages for this second volume to be released. At the time they were considered to be great but looking back the quality left a bit to desired.
I have these on VHS but I need this on DVD as Ivo filmed on good qualify film stock, shame you only did it on 240p, also not sure this will remain up as the Railscene fella is on TH-cam... I am not saying anything but don't be surprised if he makes a claim?

Sorry about the 240p quality; it was the only thing available.
Also, who is the "Railscene fella"?
