West Somerset Railway Weekend Oct 1/2 2022

This was the weekend that the WSR were to run their Autumn Gala, but unfortunately, it was cancelled. However, Mrs M and I decided to go anyway, and despite there being a Red Timetable service, we had a wonderful weekend meeting friends, so this video was captured during the weekend.

The line and locos looking good in the autumn sunshine Bob. Thank you for including the lineside furniture/non-action footage as it gives a more rounded picture of the line. There's also some lovely scenery in the background. Take care - Chris

Great coverage of the WSR weekend Bob. Good weather too! Geraint

[@robmasterman]

Horrendous drive down on Friday Ger. Saturday and Sunday were good, but quite windy.

That 9351 is a funny one. The Prairie that became a Mogul. Nice sound from it though. Well filmed Bob...very enjoyable.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Tim, they did a wonderful job on that conversion, and she's a great asset to the Railway.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Excellent on-train sound, particularly climbing out of Watchet.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Andrei, not to everyone's taste, but I like to record it as it reminds me of travelling many years ago.

Good old steam trains where you could lean out of the window

[@robmasterman]

Just a point of order Bill, my camera was just outside the window, but all of me was inside! The good old days of leaning out of the Window are sadly behind us.

[@howarth004]

Best cafe on the railway so they say at Stogumber

[@robmasterman]

Without a doubt Dave, it's a peaceful, and extremely friendly station.

[@GreatBritishRailways1]

Bob, Whilst the cancellation of the gala was an obvious disappointment I hope it didn't detract too much from your enjoyment. The video was interesting and well up to your high standards. Regards, John

[@robmasterman1821]

Thanks John, having trouble with my laptop at the moment, so missed your comment. Thanks as always, we thoroughly enjoyed the weekend despite everything...Regards
Bob

If only I was alive before the diesel.

[@robmasterman]

It was a magical time, and one I am so pleased to have experienced.

[@ncplantdoctor]

Who was that Glen Cottage? Was that your friend Dave Howarth? Enjoyed the video.

[@robmasterman]

It may well have been..He does dress up now and again..or so I've heard.
