Aww, my wonderful husband working hard as always on the engines ❤️ so nice to see him featured in one of your videos Atomic Shrimp, thank you !
It was so kind of him to show me around the engine!
A kind and informative chap he was as well 😊
It's awesome when nice people get to meet in real life. The engine tour was a wonderful treat!
Please thank him for showing us around 😃
Well done Seb.
"I want to see the manager". So dry I cracked up.
imagine finding a fan of the channel doing something as cool as driving your train! :D
How adorable that Eva got her own ticket!
OMG Mike! I love your channel but this one has blown me away. I’m quite ill at the moment and haven’t slept all night but this video has put such a smile on my face. I’ve watched it twice in a row. Such a beautiful place. I thought my country was beautiful (Ireland) but yours especially around that area is stunningly beautiful. 😍. Casey Jones (Seb) was brilliant inviting you to the engine part. We have nothing like that over here. 😢. Thanks a mill for this one Mike and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 more of these kind of beautiful videos. 👍
I’m sure he’ll be touched by your comment fellow Shrimpoid
@@__-bk6mm Shrimpoid!!! Wonderful, I now have a great name for belonging to a great channel. 🤩
Wishing you a speedy recovery, friend!
Shrimpiod!!! 🤣
Thanks for careing🙏👍
Thanks for showing us around Seb, you're very knowledgeable and friendly 🙂❤️
Seb! Thanks for showing Shrimp around the engine compartment. If you're here in the comments, please give a shout!!
yup, Thank you Seb!
I love seeing the fires in trains. Sometimes I walk to the steam railway station in Totnes (sometimes known as Totnes Riverside) just to see the engines, though there also is a very nice cafe there & sometimes the Rare Breeds centre also send someone on to the station with an owl for everyone to see.
All hail Seb! I also love that Eva gets her own ticket, how lovely
A steamy shrimp video? Sign me up, enjoying this with my morning coffee.
Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱!
My 5 year old son is autistic and obsessed with trains, especially Victorian steam engines. We live in Pennsylvania and have an annual membership to the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum and the Northern Central Railway. We also frequent the Strasburg Railroad. He can tell you what all of the parts are, what they do, what different engines are called, what all the different workers’ roles are, etc. We take him on train rides almost every weekend and he is going to be dressed as a ghost train engineer for Halloween. Major train nerd and it’s so fun! Anyway, we watched this video together and he thought it was the most exciting thing ever and now he wants to ride this train. Thank you for sharing. :)
Steam engine, one of the best sounds ever. She was so clean, so well cared for; good job Seb, and all who keep her going. What a lovely place, thanks for taking us with you. Have a great weekend.
Did exactly the same journey last year with my sister, elderly dad and his dog. We had lunch in a different pub, but it was equally as good. Being on a steam train definitely brought back some memories for my dad.
Karen… “I want to speak to the manager!” This comment made me chuckle! 😂
Time stamp ?
We have a taxidermy raccoon named Karen. We loaned her to an oddities shop with a sign that said ,"I'd like to see the manager!"
I remember riding a steam powered train in finland in the 90s. It was called lätttähattu (flathead )It started 3 forest fires on that trip if i remember correctly. That was the last time a steam engine has been operated here.
Christ how did it manage that?
@@TheMorningIWokeUpDead Good grief. 😯
@@__-bk6mmtrains are notorious for setting fire to things. They project the look of innocence, but turn your back on one and it's arson all over the shop.
@@__-bk6mm Embers from the fire, I reckon. If the forest's dry enough...
_Wot? How could this be? Trump assured us that Finland is free of forest fires, since the Finns, unlike the careless Californians, rake their forest floors. /S_ Seriously, I'm so sorry to hear that the trains have had to be discontinued for that reason. They are a special part of history.
2:21 Even the firebox was glad to meet Atomic Shrimp, such a happy look upon it's 'face'
What a magical experience, AND a private tour of the engine compartment by a loyal fan!? Amazing. Beautiful train and scenery. Thank you for the trip ❤
Your fame is spreading Mr Shrimp, and well deserved. I'm a great fan of restored railways and I don't think I've been on this one! Wonderful photography and a great treat to get shown around the cab. I was very fortunate to ride in the cab of the Oliver Cromwell when it was running at Thursford, and I got to blow the whistle!! Well done Seb for letting Mr Shrimp film in the cab!!🤩🤩🤩🚂🚂🚂🛤🛤🛤
Such a deceptively large railway carriage, capable of accommodating all of Mr Shrimp's viewing companions on a joint expedition to Dartmouth. Thank you for a lovely day out.
so much beautiful scenery in this one
That engine compartment is SO COOL
Next cooking challenge, with Sebs help, cooking a meal on a steam train engine shelf!
A machinist(the engineer) on a steam locomotive in the Netherlands makes bacon and eggs in a coal shovel, there is video of it somewhere in the deep bowels of TH-cam.
I just watched Hyce's video about that, was a very nice video!
Do you mean k-37 kitchen? That dude is American isn't he
@@rubenskiii it used to be a fairly common practice for the driver and fireman to cook their breakfast in the firebox using the fireman’s coal shovel as a pan, but they had to use caution because if the fire started to draw it could cause the food items to fly off the shovel and into the fire. At one point in time the practice was banned because the food could be drawn into the boiler pipes and if that happened while the engine was in a station the smell of the burning food could be detected by the station staff as well as the customers, leading to complaints of no catering being available especially at more rural locations. During the change from steam engines to electric or diesel electric engines some engines actually had a small hot plate installed in the engine compartment to allow the crew to have their breakfasts, but as they removed the fire men from the cabs as supernumerary personnel the driver could not drive and cook at the same time so the hot plates were removed.
And only using food foraged along the railtracks and whatever Shrimp or Seb casually have in their pockets! :-)😂
Only watched a little bit of the vid so far, must say though, Seb is an absolute legend, allowing you into the drivers cab
Great vid Mr Shrimp! As a railway enthusiast and heritage railway volunteer I particularly enjoyed this one. I visited this area back in March time, staying in Brixham. It's a very beautiful area! You've done a top job of documenting Dartmouth and everything. Like I said I really enjoyed this 👍
The face on the inside of the engine...round firebox for a mouth, water gauges for ears, eyes that said, "Oh, my! I wasn't expecting company!"
I saw that, too! My mind is one that always sees the faces everywhere. Fun, isn't it?
Oh my, what an adventure! I absolutely love trains. This is amazing! 🎆
I had a wonderful time! Thanks!
The Kingswear to Brixham walk is hilly but fabulous. Also, in the winter they run the train with lots of fairy lights on the sides and have Father Christmas give out presents :D
Yeah, we walked some parts of that coastal path - coming in some later videos over the next few weeks...
Thank you for this video, brings back some nice memories. Used to visit my Great grandmother and this train would pass the beach we would play on, always was the best part!
Lovely video! I'm in Canada. Years ago I did a day out where we walked across the moors from Corfe Castle to Swanage, had tea, and took the steam train back to the castle where we'd parked. Similar South Coast!
Everything on that steam train looks so *NEW!* Thanks for sharing the trip!
The sounds of the clacking of the train on the tracks made the bagpipe tune "Steam Train to Mallaig" start playing in my head (I have no proof of this, but I firmly believe that the gracenote in the tune were specifically written in to represent the rhythmic clicking of the tracks). Delightful. Such lovely views, also -- thank you for sharing this with us. It's nice to share this trip with you all vicariously. : )
9:50. Apparently this is the PS Kingswear Castle, the last remaining coal-powered paddle steamer in the UK. Cracking video, Mr Shrimp.
WHAT a gorgeous machine!!!
I love such tours so much. And the weather looked so nice! I hope you can some short trips soon again. I really love seeing them.
Thank you so much for this! We do a short break to Paignton every September and the steam train and a river cruise is always in the plans. We also like to catch the Paignton to Exmouth Service train, and spend a day there. The scenery of Torbay and then the River Exe is worth the 1.5 hours on the train. Then the views from the Seafront at Exmouth is of the nature reserve at Dawlish across the river. It's great day out if you are feeling a little bit tired, with some great little shops and some very nice cafes and restaurants and pubs to have lunch both in the town and on the seafront.
The path up to the old castle is lovely, maybe next time Mike
I do like a good steam train journey. I'm really chuffed you took us along.
Wow, Seb is a real G.O.A.T.!!! Also, I admit I have not been to England, so when I saw these pastoral, beautiful scapes and scenes, I thought of Holland, Germany, France, and then of the Sea Scape, The Mediterranian! Gorgeous!!
Ah that's lovely. I spent many happy times down in Dartmouth as my Godmother lived there.
Fabulous! Another great field trip 😊 I went on my first steam train this summer from Norden to Swanage and then the chain ferry to sandbanks, absolutely loved it. I think I’ll have to visit Dartmouth.
We were down on Broadsands beach yesterday when the train came chuffing along. Always a lovely sight
Cheers Mr shrimp. Much love to you and your Mrs ❤ I adore you both
Omg that's so cool that they let you look at the controls on the train! I love trains. ❤
Seb proves Shrimp fans are some of the neatest, most interesting people!
Wow that was fantastic & thanks for sharing Atomic shrimp 🦐🚂🤗
Loved hearing and seeing the train rumble pass the River Dart while I was a cadet at BRNC. Part of British history still rumbling along. Great video Mr. Shrimp.
Your channel makes me want to come back to the UK for a visit. I've been twice, and I tried to see as much as I could each time, including some things off the beaten path, but there's still so many lovely places I haven't been. Adding Dartmouth Steam Railway to my list.
Hopefully interesting fact... Dartmouth has a railway station despite never having had a railway line. It was classed as this for through ticketing via the ferry and parcels traffic.
I'm in South Devon I love this trip.
What a great video, shrimp. I used to work on the mainline railway and would visit Paignton Station a lot for work, and I would try to get a look at the steam locos. Good memories.
Good vid thanks 🎉😂❤
What a lovely day out, thanks for bringing me with you in this video!
Have to be careful around those gazebos; very sneaky beasts, taken many an adventurer unawares... 8-P
(Eric and the Dread Gazebo)
Used to work at the DSR as an apprentice engineer, absolutely brilliant railway with an awesome fleet of locos and astounding boots on the ground, including Seb- absolutely brilliant guy! Just a shame about a few of those at the top, really, but other than that do like the place
There used to be (maybe still is) a round trip that consisted of a boat from Totnes down the river to Dartmouth, the ferry across to Kingswear, the steam train from Kingswear to Paignton and a bus from there back to Totnes. It made for a long day but it was a great trip. Lovely video, it brought back memories.
This video was a fun watch.
Thank you for showing us this outing.
Oh, the memories! We did the steam train as a school outing, back in the late 60's! And crossed on the ferry to Dartmouth for about an hour, to eat a packed lunch! How lovely that Eva could enjoy it with you!
What a wonderful memory !!!!!
Getting to know the UK with the Atomic Shrimp. Thank you for the video. Having visited the Lake District and its surroundings in spring, my wife and I are always eager to see more of England, though (for now) not in person.
What a nice film to watch! (As always! ☺️) Thank you!
I did a double take when I saw the title, as I live in a Canadian city called Halifax which is a ferry trip across a harbour from a town called Dartmouth. Not named for being at the mouth of the river Dart, but rather named for the Earl of Dartmouth
Technically, your Dartmouth is very much named after the mouth of the river Dart, given the Earl of Dartmouth was named after this Dartmouth.
Thanks for sharing the journey. Did the same a few years ago and must go back to Dartmouth. Next year would recommend trying to do the Paddle Steamer Waverley if that interests you when back down in your neck of the woods 🚂 🛥
A warm welcome to my home town! Good old Dartmouth!
This is beautiful. I didnt know steam engines were so cool
That really is a beautiful place. You had a lovely day for your trip there, too. Did you see the Kingswear Daymark? It's a daytime lighthouse without a light, if you will. A big white tower marking, I believe, the Dart river channel for coastal sailors. Lovely relaxing video. Thank you.
It's the sort of place that I'd like to live in. My late father was very fond of a place in that area, with the superb name of Noss Mayo. That takes 'picturesque', and turns it up to 11.
Thank you again. I've had a rotten week with a head cold, and this cheered me up no end.
Nice one 👍👍👍
Yeah, there's a whole video based on a walk around the Daymark, coming in the next week or three
@@AtomicShrimp - Lovely! 👌👌👌
This guy s great!!! Thanks for sharing x
I didn't think steam trains were still used. Now I want to travel on one.
They are a few that work as tourist attractions, and are also needed for movies.
@@akrickok3482 Me too. Except I’m in Ireland ☹️👍
@@philipmckeon8944they have steam trains in Ireland. The railway preservation society of Ireland has details.
@@philipmckeon8944well that's not that far compared to some! Im on the other side of the world in Aotearoa
Awww, Eva gets a ticket! 🐾
It was so enjoyable and relaxing to ride a train when we lived in Europe.
Absolutely great stuff!
Seems lovely, wouldnt mind going for another small getaway/excursion myself, spend a day out of the city somewhere nice
Thank you😊
Cool as hell!
7:00 holy crap was that a telephone booth? I haven't seen a telephone booth in years!
This ones called Karen…. I want to see the manager 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That was great 😂
What a beautiful engine 😲😍
A nice day out , thank you.
Awesome video of a great excursion.
The questions about steam locomotive cooking might sound ridiculous, but are actually not too far fetched!
Fabulous journey
Lovely. The British coastal towns seem quite underrated
Fantastic journey. X
This is the most diverse TH-cam channel I know of: foraging, cooking, scam baiting, and now steam railways. I think you need to up your game on engine terminology though. That there was the footplate, or cab. Also if you're in North Devon or West Somerset, I can highly recommend the West Somerset Railway. It's the longest heritage railway in the UK, and every station has something to get off and investigate.
Cracking day out!
Gulls just make me happy.
And Bois 😂
Hoping the next carriage would be 'E' and called 'Eva' 😊
Ah, Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway. I went on that before the rebrand although I think some of the carriages still have "P&DSR" lettering.
I'm not necessarily interested in every video topic on this channel, but Shrimp's personality makes all of the videos interesting so I watch all
What made you say that? Is this a particular video you’re not interested in? You can say that you know
I do like a good walkabout.
My next door neighbours recently went on holiday in that neck of the woods, their favourite part of the holiday was the day they spent in Paignton!
Dear Mr Shrimp, please go to the train of lights near Christmas. It would make the most fantastic video!
I wish I had known you were there. I lived there for 10 years. The town gets bad press. Some lovely cafes and the harbour and the beach! And then next door is Goodrington!! But you are not in Paignton at all, are you.
My dad would love this video 🚂😄
I live in the south-west and regularly have to deliver to Dartmouth.
I often deliver to the pub next to the café you had lunch at and in the summer reversing down that lane is an absolute nightmare as it is so close to the cars boarding the ferry! Tourist normally look on in horror when I slowly reverse down there😂 great video and I completely understand when you nearly accidentally boarded the ferry don’t worry we’ve all been there!!
One time I went on a boat to Dartmouth & in the river mouth there are rocks & we scraped the rocks & the boat was holed in a small way. I think some passengers were a touch alarmed when this was announced but they then announced that it would take many hours for the boat to actually sink so we were dropped at the pontoon as normal before the boat went on to the repair place.
Compare this place to the likes of Great Yarmouth and Portsmouth and the likes......no contest! Beautiful, clean and picturesque.
Did that trip is torrential rain in May
Loved it
I feel like I've visited the place meself; your video goes up to 11 Mr. Shrimp.
P.S. Kingswear Castle was restored & plied on the Medway where I originate from. Some cable ferries do have props, the cables are for guidance, particularly useful in fast flowing water.
7:00 Dartmouth harbour somehow reminds me of Meersburg at Lake Constance.
I read "Dartmouth Waterslide" and now I am slightly disappointed that you didn't get to go to a steampunk water park.
Eva had the best seat on the train
