  • It’s sooooo good to see Gresley again

    For the 1st time this year, Gresley A4 No. 60007 ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’ with the "English Riviera Express" on a short trip to the English Riviera. For those onboard, it was a sunny day out to the stunning harbours of Kingswear and Dartmouth, for me, a simply lovely day of filming. Gresley looked fabulous along the English Riviera. Shots were taken at:
    00:00 Gresley Slips and Shines
    00:10 Starcross
    03:05 Goodrington Sands
    05:12 Churston Turntable
    05:22 7827 for Kingswear
    06:15 Gresley rolling onto the Turntable
    07:27 Spun-around
    10:19 Giving way to 7827
    11:34 60007 coasts to Kingswear
    12:15 Kingswear for Dartmouth
    12:36 Gresley leaves for Taunton
    16:45 Racing through Cockwood Harbour
    There was no shortage of whistles in this film.

      Thanks, it's one of the best shots I've taken all year! I couldn't believe how good it was, I kept watching it over and over again. It's actually taken at Starcross, in the Exe Estuary. I was standing on a very narrow pier, fortunately, all to myself.

    Superb camera work 👌 The shot leaving Kingswear is perfect, a blue A4 in the sunshine on a rake of blood and custards really looks the part, the backdrop of the seaside and town behind on the hill is gorgeous

    Some brilliant shots of 60007! I loved seeing this magnificent engine's return to the South West. I wish I had chased it now, however I did see it at Newton Abbot and Dawlish, so I am happy.

    We were lucky enough to see this go past near Exeter! Totally unexpected but I recognised it from the whistle sound... Great video, thank you.

    Excellent engine and photography. The fact that there is a diesel on the back makes any performance / slipping on banks irrelevant.

    • @AndreiTupolev
      @AndreiTupolev 23 дні тому

      It's just there really for supplying electrical power to the train and shunting the train at Kingswear. It seemed to be providing minimal assistance, if that

    • @richardjames3446

      @@AndreiTupolev That may be the case. But there is quite a gradient there unlikely it would pull a heavy train plus a 140 ton loco up that bank. In the case of Hemerdon diesels on the back certainly supply a shove. The class 66 clay trains only go up that bank with half a load....then go back for the other half, re-couple and take the fully loaded train on to Stoke.
