Did anyone else see Judy’s secret trip to Bodmin Parkway?

[@ChrisFernihoughMusic]

Gutted to have missed that! I was filming all day but missed that. Great footage, nice to watch ! A quick question.. how did you get to that location @ 21:17 Top and tail prairies near Boscarne ? Chris

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

@@ChrisFernihoughMusic On foot, I had a word with the owners of the field who were happy for me to go down to the farm crossing. It's not the first time I've gone down there, I think they recognise me from previous occasions.

Good Quality Videos. Highly Enjoyed this.

Very enjoyable - perfect weather too!

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Danke

[@kevinpennick3604]

Wonderful video. Timeless.

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Many thanks

Lovely vid again. I remember both 'Alfred' and 'Judy' working at Par docks back in the 60s, not looking so clean and splendid as here though.

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JBTEvans]

Very good video, really enjoyed watching this, you captured the atmosphere well!

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Thank you very much

Colesloggett Halt is one of my favourite station names ever. The 47 looked tremendously impressive powering up the bank, but the 08 with the short rake of China clay wagons was highly appropriate too

Nice bit of thrash past Charlie's gate from me 😂

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Can I have a cab ride?

[@thebear3178]

Superbly covered. Only visit was in 2014. Would love to return one day but live too far for a day trip!

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Can't say the same, I live only 5 minutes away from parts of the line.

[@thomasrowe7499]

Amazing to see 5552 back in action, great video as usual

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

More to come!

[@mikeuk4130]

What a great video! Some (very) different locos, lovely busy railway scene, a well-run gala, and all beautifully shot. I’ve subscribed and shall visit when I can.

Thanks
