Thanks, it's one of the best shots I've taken all year! I couldn't believe how good it was, I kept watching it over and over again. It's actually taken at Starcross, in the Exe Estuary. I was standing on a very narrow pier, fortunately, all to myself.
Superb camera work 👌 The shot leaving Kingswear is perfect, a blue A4 in the sunshine on a rake of blood and custards really looks the part, the backdrop of the seaside and town behind on the hill is gorgeous
Some brilliant shots of 60007! I loved seeing this magnificent engine's return to the South West. I wish I had chased it now, however I did see it at Newton Abbot and Dawlish, so I am happy.
Much appreciated. This is a good time to say that you can use trecanrail.com/railtour-calendar - and sort by Exeter St David's - to see all steam railtours passing through this year! Thanks
@@steamtothewest-trecanrail What a great website, thank you! We will actually be on The Royal Duchy trip on 1st September, so we'll wave at any cameras we see :-)
It's just there really for supplying electrical power to the train and shunting the train at Kingswear. It seemed to be providing minimal assistance, if that
@@AndreiTupolev That may be the case. But there is quite a gradient there unlikely it would pull a heavy train plus a 140 ton loco up that bank. In the case of Hemerdon diesels on the back certainly supply a shove. The class 66 clay trains only go up that bank with half a load....then go back for the other half, re-couple and take the fully loaded train on to Stoke.
Amazing shot of sir nigel gresley on the sea wall. You have just taken my dream shot of all time.

Sounds like you had great fun wish I was there to

Great to see such a magnificent engine in action, thank you.
Absolutely
Brilliant. Many thanks Nick.
Not my channel; you need to thank the (no longer teenage) getaway driver!
Excellent filming
Great footage! Love the turntable shot, it's like having a model in front of you, but a real one!
0:55 I like the way the driver of the 150/2 gives the horn sound to sir Nigel gresley after it sounded the whistle
Beautiful video! Greeting from southern germany!
Hallo! Danke,
The final two shots, leaving Kingswear and speeding past Cockwood Harbour, are the bee's knees 🐝
Such a beauty, and that chime! Lovely film.

I think this is worth a subscription to your channel, your shots are amazing!
Dawlish is a good spot, thanks
Did see this yesterday with my little grandson ❤️
Very good video :)
Thank you, its a very good locomotive
We were lucky enough to see this go past near Exeter! Totally unexpected but I recognised it from the whistle sound... Great video, thank you.

would look even better on the line to Aberdeen 🏴
Where is the turntable situated?
Excellent engine and photography. The fact that there is a diesel on the back makes any performance / slipping on banks irrelevant.
