I love this video which shows so much variety which is missing in 2023
Oh happy days, sea, sun and trains!! What more did we need . . . 😎😎👍👍👍👍
That short train - possible DMU substitute - was the particularly most interesting part of the video. The only other time I've seen 2 blue/grey mk1s behind a diesel loco was on the mainline passing Toddington motorway services, roughly around the same era as this enjoyable selection was filmed.
Think so it was pottering back and forth between exeter & Paignton all day.
The Duff with the two BSKs were probably on a DMU substitute. It's an interesting scratch rake but something that the modern railway would be able to accommodate today.
It's one for railway modellers, too!
The good old days when BR was a pleasure to watch and travel on. Hopeless now fuelled by strikes and delays.
This takes me right back to those seemingly endless summer days just up the coast at Lyme. It’s beautifully shot, really was back there watching with you, could almost feel the heat of the sun. Wonderful
Excellent, takes me back to happy memories of Devon and diesels.
These AI remasters are superb thank you so much for sharing keep them coming please 👍
Nice worth it even if there were only 2 pairs of Hoovers, nice to see the old railway as it once was. keep up the good work. Oh and First!
Running out of hoovers now, down to 37s and 47s
Long before First was heard of, thankfully 🙃
@@AndreiTupolev First as in comment!
Fantastic video. Takes me back to my childhood days when we used to spend hours down at Dawlish on the beach watching the trains go by. Thanks.
Nice stuff!
As a railway modeller, it's really cool to have good enough definition to be able to read the numbers on the coaches!
A bit of a rarity was the 3-car 101 with a TBSL (with guards compartment) in the middle... those were few and far between, even in 1990!
The HST on a wrong-line-working a6 6:00 was unexpected!
Westbound services are quite often sent 'wrong line' when the sea gets particularly choppy
What a fantastic video. Thks for sharing.
Oh how I miss DMUs. Good to see Exeters scratch set having an outing too. Great to see a bit of the old flailing too as the normals look on somewhat bemused 😁
Really enjoyed that - what a summer it was! We were down there just over a week after this was filmed.
On 47241 to Barnstaple that day vice DMU. Thanks for the memory's... :-)
Good quality video. Enjoyed a lot ! Good memories and nicely shot
Ahhhh Nostalgia
This is wonderful. Slap bang in the middle of my bashing times!
SHould have another one soon from that same week at Dawlish Warren
Fabulous video!
Love this!
Great video mate, in the time and era I'm modelling! The light engine movements we see, are, like any light engine movement, fascinating. Where have they come from, where are they going? And, that train at 5:09, hauled by the distribution 47, what was that all about?
Thanks, someone on Facebook commented the 47 was on a emu replacement for Barnstaple
I lived in Dartmouth 1993-2001 and never once, did I go to Dawlish to watch the trains. Duh me. It was always hot there though right? It always amazed m there weren't idiotic holidaymaker fatalities here tbh given how open the tracks are, and the noise from the sea blotted out oncoming trains. Interesting little set up at 5:20 - "not commercially viable" would be the 2023 phrase I'm sure.
Those were the days😢the bashers on the double headed 50s
Great stuff, btw any remasters planned for your lickey stuff?
I’ll put the Lickey material on my list to do Owen
@@thehogfat Nice one, cheers!
A particularly idiotic bit of trespassing there1:26. And again4:10, there's somebody walking on the track side of the wall, not that the driver of the 47 seems at all concerned
Track workers believe it or not.
No they don’t have any vests or helmets also if the hst knew they were there it would of slow down those are very much trespassers
Trespassers with shovels lol jeez.
6:00Wrong line working on the up line 🤨
It happens when the sea gets choppy
