Never knew Iron Duke had a face drawn on at one point.

So many great locos I wish were still there: Butler Henderson, the S56, City of Truro, even Boxhill on public display.

This is a real "Western Lady!"

valve events sound off for a 3 cylinder engine, when it's pulling slow it's as if there 3 beats & then a pause rather than a smooth 6 beats per revolution & some sound harder & some softer than others

Thanks for the video a cracking railway beautiful scenery and times gone bye!!😎🚂🚃🚃🚃🇬🇧

Thanks for posting this 👍👍

five auto coaches is a BIT much. wasn't aware there were that many preserved

I miss the "real" Western Laides.

This is my hometown. Sadly I was born in 1987 so was far to young to have seen this. Great footage. When torbay was a great place to visit.

Great old girl ... mean craft in their day .... ww2 ...

i miss this place i would go there every year since my grandparents lived near by

All of this footage is Weymouth it seems.

We were on a day trip on a special train from Poole to Weymouth Harbour round about that year. The train met the ship Earl Harold to take us to Jersey. We were told that no passenger train has since ploughed through the town since that day. The train was late at the ship due to cars on the line - yes, you read it right, cars not cows.

Hello, The South Devon Railway would be very interested in using this footage as part of the 50th Year. Would you be able to contact us on trains@southdevonrailway.org? Thank you.

Hard luck if you live in one of those houses and work nights ...

Long live south Devon railway and all steam railways

Having left Sharpness travelling "Tender First" how did 45407 manage to be running"Smokebox Door" first when it arrived at Cam and Dursley, please?

I well remember this trip - the entire population of Sharpness turned out to meet us! We went on to the Forest of Dean Railway but 45407 was not allowed to proceed as rail radii were too tight! Great day out though!

I spent all that summer working on pleasure boats from torquay and watched thatt with naked eye xx

I watched that livre x

the plane that made you laff cry and want on xxxxxxxxxxxxx

i was live for that video, and its a moment you can never relive,,Phew

just sat and watched it live, even though i was REALLY LIVE...Concorde was somat else x

My god, keep this for life best ever images off concorde and qe2 ever...

As a guest house owner in Weymouth I would like to see the re-introduction of this tramway. It could be a unique tourist attraction that not many (if any) other seaside resorts could match. Weymouth needs regeneration and it something The Council should take onboard and address as there are too many shops closing. It will soon be a 'ghost town' if nothing is done. This tramway could just be the tipping point it needs to inject new life into Weymouth.

I recall Milton Jones saying that Poole Harbour was where the Japanese attacked on Dec. 7th.

What a lovely video. I too was involved in the restoration of 80064. Used to come up from Plymouth one day a week whilst in final year at school, so would have been circa 1978. An elderly gent called Roy Gregory used to bring two or three of us up every week. I painted the inside of the left hand water tank. In those days I was so skinny that I could fit in the hole for the filler hatch. There used to be a dent nearly the length of the tank. In its working life it had collided with something which left a huge gouge down the side. It took MONTHS of filler, sanding, filler, sanding to get it right. Nice to see it again.

What happened to this part of the line? I knew that it terminates at Buckfastleigh but how come the track was lifted to/from Ashburton, was it taken up during BR days before the SDR could obtain it?

These are the BAe Hawk T.1 Not a Hawker Hunter!

Hi there. Just found this film and what memories it brought back. I grew up in Buckfastleigh and my dad worked on 80064 until his death in 1977. He never got to see it run but my mum took us down to the station to see one of its first runs up and down the platform. It must of been the day shown in your film because I remember all of the locos out running together. I was about 10 at the time. I've seen 80064 rotting in a shed on the bluebell. She is still there as dar as I know with currently no plans for restoration. Very sad. Thanks for sharing this film.

4555 is still going it is on the pdsr I believe

As a boy I spent many hours in Sapperton Box. Checking my own photos I reckon the film was taken in June/July 1970 (Boxes closed on 5/10/70). One can see the partially completed Xover ground frame in the first shot and new relay boxes for the MAS at Brimscombe. Sapperton Box was rarely photographed so this material is so precious. Brimscombe looks so sad and bare of any activity in what was a large complex. The box was only retained for a farmers Xing. I cannot thank you enough for posting this.

I watch the footage and all through the 30 minutes kept worrying that I may require a hearing aid... ;)

were both engines running. we only saw 1 start.

I Adore Clan Line. Saw it at Retford last Wednesday.

Absolutely agree, apparently it is presently languishing unserviceable on tBluebell Railway.

Great film. To date it is the only one i have seen of 80064. Helped with the restoration of this loco 1978/79. Was taken to Buckfastliegh by Roy Gregory on day release from school in Plymouth. I painted the inside of the water tanks on both sides on 80064. Seem to remember Roy trying to sort out a long dent on one of the tanks. The amount of filler and rubbing down we did was very time consuming. Note the signalbox being built at Buckfastliegh. Bet Nick Perring was involved with that.

Nice to see, I remember the SDR around this time. 80064 was moved to Buckfastleigh in 1973 and she returned to steam in 1981. In 1984, she was moved to the Bluebell Railway. (courtesy of the SDR web site). Keith

Such a shame that they can't run all the way to Ashburton. It's the best railway I have ever been to and an few extra miles would make it feel complete.

Oh my goodness, I miss this service, I only rode it once and I seem to remember it was always good fun. I hope it makes a revival some day. Great video! :D

Lovely sound on departure. I was hoping for a nice chuffing sound when I filmed Lizzie leaving Paddingtoin but the sound was drowned by her blowin' off. Barry

I wish I could have been on that train, but alas, lack of funding. It's still lovely to see the line back the way it should be again, though. :D

A lovely shot of Oliver Cromwell slogging up Sapperton on a lovely sunny early-October afternoon. Difficult shot with the sun so low this time of year. Had a similar problem with my first Tornado shot on Saturday. Barry

Wonderful. A collection of sound, columns of smoke and steam and that strange overbridge. Good stuff. barry

Great video 5*

Great sounding whistle right next to you, just uploaded mine, took a while due to camera trouble, nice video

Brilliant..... really really really enjoyed your vid, phenomenal hill climb, great sound track..…☁☁☁☁☁⁘⁙⁙……Hᴜɢʜ…..ツ

Nice shot. Look's like the front coach hasn't been coupled correctly to Clan Line the way the steam is leaking there. I filmed Clan Line passing West Brompton. Barry
