Some assistance in rear, but much more lovely with the regulator than Braunton the day before. Very interesting views of the turning at St Blazey. It looks rather like the kind of punishment detail employees would be put on for some misdemeanour in the days before HR 🙃

Some really great sequences here. Variety of locations and excellent smooth panning. I particularly liked the Glynn Valley clip.😊

Steam engines in a misty landscape, such poetic views.

No way up Rattery was that 47 not at full power which in my view is a cheat code. Duchess of Hamilton went up at half that speed when I was there..

[@bobcornford3637]

Same at Hemerdon. Can't see the point of having steamers if the diesel is doing most of the work.

Happily the St Blazey Roundhouse is looking far more presentable nowadays The Turntable (but not the pit) appears to be a BR addition, can anyone confirm this?

[@Volksplane1]

7029 Clun Castle to Plymouth on Friday/Saturday

It is a lovely sound but it is of a steam.train going gently uphill with a light load. Hemerdon makes all steam crews sweat and worry but not this Black 5 cause its ",Diesel Assist"

[@bobcornford3637]

Actually it's diesel propelled and light steam assist.

[@wgj4813]

​@bobcornford3637 yes I know and I am so disappointed. Pendennis Castle with a diesel ghost was the right way.

[@stuartbroome1258]

Excellent video, pity about the paraffin burner though. Wet feet in the field I bet 😅

[@KENNETHKEITH31]

You mean the diesel helping the kettle

Wellies are a brilliant item of clothing for the job
