Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway - Orange Timetable w/ 4936 'Kinlet Hall' - 02/08/12

Thursday 2nd August saw GWR 4900 Class 4-6-0 no.4936 'Kinlet Hall' working services on the Paignton & Dartmouth Railway, working to the 'Orange Timetable' she worked alongside GWR 4200 Class 2-8-0T no.4277 'Hercules', Kinlet of course was my main reason for going as I'd not seen her in her new BR Green livery before this, the last time I saw her was at the Severn Valley Railway three years ago. The weather was rather indecisive with patches of sun, rain and cloud as well as some strong winds, so filming was tricky at times.
Shots included in this video are:
- 4936 barks away from Greenway Halt working the 12:15 from Kingswear.
- 4277 arrives at and departs from Greenway Halt on the 12:15 from Paignton.
- 4936 arrives at Goodrington Halt on the 13:00 from Paignton then makes the ascent up Goodrington Bank making plenty of noise.
- 4277 winds her way down Goodrington Bank on the 13:00 from Kingswear, afterwards she is seen climbing back up the bank in fine form working the 14:15 from Paignton.
- 4936 rolls down to Goodrington on the 14:15 from Kingswear then powers back up on the 15:00 from Paignton.
- 4277 passes by working the 15:00 from Kingswear, due to some idiots shouting and hollering in an attempt to ruin my video I had to make an attempt at dubbing that bit over, my first try at something like that and turned out pretty well.
- 4277 pounds over Broadsands Viaduct working the 15:45 from Paignton, afterwards 4936 rolls down with the 15:45 from Kingswear (Did get a few odd looks standing out in the street with tripod, camcorder and microphone, even though there's a bloody great viaduct right there!)
- A panoramic view as 4936 ascends the bank looking over Broadsands Beach, working the 16:30 from Paignton. 4277 then passes over the same stretch heading the other way on the 16:30 from Kingswear.
- The final shot sees us at Churston Station and we see 4936 rolling in on the 17:15 from Kingswear. With the signal now green sets off on the last train of the day.
I'd like to make a quick thank you to fellow UA-camr jakeyboygen as if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have known Kinlet Hall was running that day.
Filmed on a Panasonic HDC-HS900 with a Pro Sound L92AA microphone.
Enjoy

Excellent video mate, so strange cause I was also visiting on the same day! odd we didn't run into each other I think haha Enjoyed the shots around greenway, my aim for next year is to film a steam loco out of the tunnel forwards! The shot of 4936 near waterside was great also Liked!

Excellent series of shots Kris. Especially the distant ones of the trains on the viaducts. She does look and sound good in her new livery. All the best...Tim.

Thanks very much Jake =) Yeah knew you'd be around that day, though it is odd we didn't pass. Think I might have passed Josh on the bridge I was on for 4277. Good luck when you try to get your shot out of Greenway Tunnel, just gotta hope no one wants to stop at the halt =P
