This is the best film I’ve ever made. A short trip to the English Riviera, for a 3 in 1 special. The Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway, Gresley A4 No. 60007 ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’ with the ‘English Riviera Express’, & the English Riviera Airshow (or part of it). The original intention was to follow the railtour down to the English Riviera, but with ASLEF on strike, it made much more sense to spend the day in the area. The normal green timetable was running, with 6 return trains, hauled by Dartmouth River Rail resident, No. 75014 'Braveheart', having returned from assignment at the Gloucester Warwickshire Steam Railway. Shots were taken at:
00:00 Braveheart near Goodrington
00:51 Braveheart on its way to Kingswear
02:35 Sir Nigel Gresley flies up Goodrington Bank
03:58 Braveheart over Hookhills Viaduct
04:24 The Airshow
06:00 75014 approaches Churston
07:03 Gresley takes on water at Churston
08:06 Sir Nigel Gresley on the turntable at Churston
10:37 Gresley returns to Kingswear
11:37 75014 Braveheart at Greenway Halt
12:30 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley at Kingswear
13:11 Braveheart alongside the River Dart
15:03 Gresley leaves Kingswear for Taunton
16:58 Too Much Pressure!
There was no shortage of whistles in this film, as well as some hill climbs & viaducts
I hope you enjoy watching, if you did, please like, comment and subscribe, it really is rather flattering.

Disclaimer : There was no trespassing used in the making of this film, all shots were taken on roads, or footpaths.
An absolutely marvellous compilation, Gresley in particular looked truly amazing especially when she " blew off " in such spectacular fashion. Many thanks for posting this gem.
My pleasure 👍
Some cracking footage, wow !
Brilliant location, fabulous video.
Much appreciated, it was my favourite video to film and put together last year. Fabulous day, I won’t forget it.
beautiful video, congratulations. grettings from Banfield - Buenos Aires - Argentina
Thank you
Used to love getting the steam train to Churston then getting the old bus to Greenway. Having a great day there then reversing the journey back to Paignton. We even got off at Greenway Halt and walked to the house. Sadly you can no longer get to Greenway that way by alighting at Churston or Greenway Halt. Used to be very popular by those who did not want to drive to Greenway.
Joli train champêtre ! 😊👍
very nice capture friend...wonderful vdo...big like...greetings from india
Fantastic, thank you
Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Thank you
Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍
My pleasure
Nice work, nice to Sir Nigel Gresley back on the Dartmouth steam railway. keep up the good work ;)
I will try to, thanks.
Thank you. Very clean and the very opposite of how they looked in the last days of Steam including the coaches. Watched many thereabouts. 👍🏻🏴
Thank you
Some great locational photography, well done..
Thank you
That turntable looks like it's only just big enough for Sir Nigel!
The was an overhang
Very much enjoyed this local ( to me!) episode. Stopped on the way home from Coleton yesterday and watched 75014 pass under the bridge near Galmpton. Great stuff. Dev 44

My favourite part of the world! With steam!
👍
Was on this train trip. Thanks for a wonderful memento. Beautiful 😍
My pleasure
14.32 make a good oil painting...We were there seeing the airshow Sunday, drawn to the locos too. Great filming
Thank you
Beautiful. I wish I was there!
There 5 more opportunities this summer!
👍
Nice video. So good not to have wind noise.
Yes, thanks
Nice video :)
👍
Haha! The music from the 1979 Rothmans Aerobatic Team film @4:24 🤣
It was the only appropriate piece of music
Might be a silly question but how did they get the loco and the rolling stock on to the line
I know Paignton station the beginning of the line has a main line connection but there’s no connection between the two lines is there?
There is a connection at Paignton, but it's not at Paignton station, the mainline runs parallel to the steam railway, to just after Sands Road Level Crossing, where the mainline becomes Goodrington sidings, except for a set of points which allow mainline services to join the heritage line. You can use google earth to see the points and how it would work.
16:58 its called safely vales
I know that 😂
Can someone inform me as to why Sir Nigel Gresley has a Class 47 attached to the rear of the train on a private heritage line, I know it a requirement on main line operations?
2 things. It is not a requirement on the mainline to have a diesel at the rear. If you watch the last 3 rail-tours I covered, there were no diesels at the back, and 2 of them still charged up Hemerdon (1 in 42) unassisted.
The diesel is there purely for extra power, or torque up hills. I highly recommend you watch the video using the link (ua-cam.com/video/-EVk85fs5tM/v-deo.html), which excellently demonstrates the problems previous Gresley A4's have had the Dartmouth Steam Railway. It is very steep, and these locos are not designed for the South West.
For assistance if needed and to haul the stock out to release the loco at Kingswear, and to provide electric power for the train
Saphos trains require a diesel on the rear to provide electrical power to the vintage coaches which have been fitted with electric central door locking.
@@AndreiTupolev The other option that is used on some specials is to haul the whole lot in the opposite direction. Also there are some rakes fitted with generators in lieu of having to use a locomotive as a source of electric train heating power - often a modified Mk 1 with a generator in what would have been a parcels van.
I love steam trains but my knowledge of their mechanics is limited. Is someone able to explain why they would have too much steam? I understand the physics obviously, but is it an expected side effect, poor footplate management? Over shovelling/stoking? Any or none of the above? Thanks in advance 😊
Wazzup I saw u
👍
I have nothing against BR locomotives per se, but I also find them to be the least interesting of all British steam engines.
I share your point too, they're heavily standardised and I find them to be quite ugly compared to a similar sized Lord Nelson class, or a Hall/Manor class.
