Winterlights to Norton Fitzwarren - West Somerset Railway 21/12/22

- The West Somerset Railway (where I occasionally work as Fireman) has been running the magical ‘Winterlights’ as a return trip from Bishops Lydeard to Crowcombe Heathfield. However, on the night of December 19th heavy rain caused a mud slide and disrupted the track. At first, this seemed to be the end of service until further notice. But with trains only suspended for one day, lineside illuminations were moved and plans were changed so the service could run as far as possible towards Crowcombe Heathfeild, and then reverse to Norton Fitzwarren to near where the line connects to the main line near Taunton before returning to Bishops Lydeard, - this is a section of line rarely seen by passengers, making this a rare opportunity!
Locomotive: ex-GWR Odney Manor 7828

Cars lit up. Excellent!!!
The lighting colours made the steam magical! The blue steam under the bridge was beautiful. You know Simon, I think they saw your decorated G scale train and thought they needed to decorate their train too.
I was very pleased with that "under the bridge" shot. Having worked the Santa Express a week before, (a morning train) I remembered the amount of steam that 'fogged' the bridge due to the cold weather, and thought it would look awesome with the lights and the train emerging. I was not disappointed.
Ha! Yes, well the Canadian Pacific was influenced by me too of course 😂
Thanks Terry!
@@ThatBIGTRAINGuy of course it was. Lol
Ah, now i know why the camera at Crowcombe has not been operative for all this wk. Thank you , video very well done.
That's right, there won't be much to see at Crowcombe for a while.
Thanks very much!
Cool colors on the smoke at different levels.
Pretty awesome, huh?
Looks so cool in the shots from a bridge with the lights coloring the steam! 😊👍🎄
I was pleased 😁.
Thank you Ellis!
Always a great event and nicely captured the spirit of the occasion.
It was the first time I'd seen any train illuminations, so I really enjoyed admiring it.
Thank you!
Great job chasing, Very well done on the decorating and the video. Best wishes from Buffalo NY.
Thanks very much Paul!
All the best.
Very cool. Colors in the smoke are amazing. You even got the “green flash” as we say in San Diego!
Great. Thanks very much!
Merry Christmas. May santa bring you many more BIG STEAM engines.
Haha! I hope so 🤞
Merry Christmas Dewey
Nice by you. 1F/-17C here by me. Nice winter scene with the locomotive lights on.
Oh Gosh! Wrap up and keep warm!
Thank you
Hi Simon, a fantastic video, it has the mystique of Christmas. Thanks for showing, it was one of the best videos. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family
Thanks so much Wolfgang.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours also.
Good morning from the freezing Texas Gulf Coast! Temp currently is 17 degrees F!
Oh no. Stay warm Ken!
Cheers
Wow, pretty spectacular! Love the colored smoke/steam! Was that all done with lights! Gracias🚂🚂🚂
Yes, all colour is from the onboard lights on the train.
Thank you!
Beautiful. Typical English winter. That which is not wet is soggy. But the lights! The steam!! Sigh… when (and if) the airlines ever figure out how to run an airline again… but geeeezzz. Not in winter. Nonetheless at some point!!
Thanks. It had actually been pretty dry at that point, but it's rained since. It's enough to drive you to drink.... tea!
If you make it over here, I'll try and get you in the cab with me on the West Somerset Railway. That'll be fun.
Happy New Year from TEXAS! New SUB here from Toy Man Television! Only problem: All Y'all drive on the wrong side of the road! 😂😂
Well you guys put the date in the wrong order 😂
Thank you. Happy New Year!
@@ThatBIGTRAINGuy It's true! 😂😂
