Following hard on the heels of our news item of 2nd September, Kingswear hosted another FIRST the following weekend.



On Saturday 8 September, class 40 No 40145 in large logo livery, made a debut for the class, when it powered Pathfinders 1Z55 Banbury to Kingswear, standing in for the unavailable 55022 ROYAL SCOTS GREY.
First of all we see the 40 passing Dawlish Warren with the down train (photographed by Richard Hargreaves) , then the classic view from Sugar Loaf Hill at Waterside, near Goodrington, and shows the returning special bathed in brilliant sunshine.

On the following day, 9 September, the former Southern region Battle of Britain class, 34067 TANGMERE, headed the Torbay Express, following the unavailabilty of 6024 King Edward I.

After a smooth run from Bristol, Tangmere found the infamous Goodrington bank just too much to take. This was the same spot that defeated 60009 Union of South Africa in 2005.

Help arrived in the form of Ex-GWR 2-8-0 No 5239, which was borrowed from the 1300 Kingswear-Paignton service, and assisted the Bullied to the summit at Churston.

Just like buses - you wait ages for one to come along, then 2 come together!

Not only that, but the first visit by EWS liveried class 37/4s to Kingswear on the 'Dartmouth Arrow' of Friday 31 August 2007, was repeated when 37410+37417 visited the branch again two days later with the Torbay Express from Bristol, filling in for the unavailable steam locomotive 6024 King Edward I.

The 11 coach train of 2 Septemer is seen above passing Waterside, between Goodrington and Churston, on the 7 mile branch from Paignton to Kingswear.

With only a handful of EWS class 37s still in traffic it's nice to see that they are still getting to old haunts.


This splendid view taken by Jon Price on Saturday 25 August 2007 shows 37422 and 37417 crossing Knucklas viaduct, on the Central Wales line, with 1Z38 1645 Llandrindod Wells-Eastleigh railtour.

On 24 August 2007 Past Times railtours ran the 'Holliday Express' railtour from Bristol Temple Meads to Par and return with double-headed steam both ways.

The intriguing pairing was ex-GWR King No 6024 King Edward I and ex-Southern Railway Batlle of Britain 34067 Tangmere.

With the duo swapping positions for the return leg, both Western & Southern camps were happy.

The above view shows the outward train approaching Ivybridge.

The evening return service cross St Germans Viaduct.

The 1st September 1984 was like any other Summer Saturday at Exeter St Davids until 1700 hours!
Then this happened to roll in with the 1215 Liverpool to Penzance HST service starting at Birmingham New Street.

The sequence that let to this amazing working commenced earlier that day, when the HST set failed on it's outward working and was terminated at Birmingham New Street.

Control decreed that Saltley would provide a locomotive to assist the HST back to the West Country and apparently the driver misheard his instructions and comandeered 58002 from the depot instead of Class 56 No 56058 which was intended.

Only when it was sitting on the train in New Street was the mistake noticed, and with the crew being members of the famous 'Saltley Seagulls', who were renowned for their outrageous escapades, their agreement to take the train was forward was not doubted!

Initally, as the story goes, Bristol was the destination for the Class 58, where the train would be terminated.
However Bristol came and went, and it was only the unfotunate air brake fault on the 58 at South Brent, between Totnes and Plymouth, that prevented the train continuing all the way to Penzance!

After the enforced stop at South Brent and nearly an hour attempting to continue with the Class 58, it was decided to restart the leading Power Car 43147, which managed to push the whole ensemble to Plymouth station, where the train was finally terminated.


58002 rounds the curve at Dawlish Warren


58002 turns a few heads at Plymouth


No doubting the location!
Thanks to Steve Woodbridge who was the only one of us with a camera!


Has there ever been a rarer diesel working on a service train to Plymouth?
The only candidate to come close we can come up with was D335 in (1964?).
Has anyone got a photo?

My only shot of a Clayton type 1 actually in traffic is this 1965 view of D8595 coming round the curve at Gateshead station.


Thought to be a 1964 shot.
NBL type 2 hydraulic No D6334 at Newton Abbot with an up stopper to Exeter.

We are pleased to announce the release of our latest programme 'Regiments and Racehorses', dedicated to those glorious type 5 Deltics.

All 22 of the type 5 Deltics appear, as well as the prototype and a handful of Baby Deltics.

This is an-all archive programme. Most of the material dates from the late 1970s but earlier scenes are depicted as well.

Duration 62 minutes.

It is available only on DVD.

On 1 August 2007, 34067 Tangmere worked from London to Weymouth and back on Steam Dreams 'Sunny South Express'.
Here, the Battle of Britain speeds past Worgret Junction, near Wareham, where the Swanage branch turns off the mainline to Weymouth.

Two shots of this train will appear in our forthcoming programme GVF138 Stars of Steam Vol II.

31452 (previously 31279/D5809), with 31454 at the rear, (prev. 31228/D5654) at Minehead in charge of the innagural 1Z35 1110 Minehead-Bristol Temple Meads.


Thanks to the joint efforts of the West Somerset Railway, Butlins, Victa Westlink and Mainline, 20 July 2007 saw the first scheduled passenger train to run from Minehead to Bristol since 1971. No less than 36 years!

We all skived off for the day to join in this historic event and travelled to Bristol with the train.

With much of the rail network in the South of England paralised due to flooding, it is to the credit of everyone involved that the train made it out and back without any major hitches.

The service is not subsidised and it's continued operation will depend on patronage, so please make an effort to have a ride on the train as well as photographing it. See the WSR website for timings and operating dates.

The return fare from Minehead to Bristol is £21.95


There is plenty to see en-route as shown below.

An array of class 66s can be seen in Fairwater yard, West of Taunton.
Amonst those present on 20 July 2007 were, 66610,66623 & 66625.


Amazingly, a class Mainline liveried 73 No 73133 is being used at present to shunt the yard at Fairwater.
It is normally stabled at the Western end of the yard.

Locomotives for todays jaunt were 31452 at the Bristol end and 31454 in Inter-City livery at the Minehead end.
31128 is spare at Bishops Lydeard should it be required.

A fantastic gathering of EE class 20s occurred on the weekend 14/15 July 2007, with some engines working passenger trains to Earls Cement at Hope.


20228 still carrying CFD livery from it's days in France, is seen in the yard at Barrow Hill next to 20001.


D8132 in the yard in British Railways green livery


20119 in BR blue livery


Type 5s 56006 and 58001 were also present at Barrow Hill


One of the specials is seen at Foxlow Jn on 14 July 2007.

Thanks to Roger Geach for the above photos.

During June & July 2007, the 'Steamy Affairs' charter train company are operating a short series of Blue Pullman specials under the banner 'Steam trains in the heart of Devon'.

On the first such outing of 23rd June, two silver liveried Cotswold class 47s, 47810 & 47828, were employed on the special originating from Ashford.

47810 'Captain Sensible' is seen leading the train past Goodrington with the return service.


43 years earlier, in 1964, the only Paxman engined Warship, D830 'Majestic', passes the exact same spot, but heading in the opposite direction, with a down local working to Kingswear.

Class 8P 4-6-2 71000 Duke of Gloucester finally made it to Devon on Bank Holiday Monday 28 May 2007.

Fittingly carrying 'The Devon Duke' headboard, the train is seen approaching Dainton summit on the return from Plymouth.

Loco-hauled trains hanging on....

As a result of DMU shortages in the West Country around the 1989-1990 period, a scratch rake of two NSE Mk1 coaches was retianed at Exeter for emergency use.
The most regular service to 'drop' was on the Exeter to Barnstaple route and in the view above, which is a video frame, taken from GVF130 'Flight of the 50s', 50042 is seen running round it's train to form the 1746 Barnstaple-Exeter St Davids on 20 July 1990.

Thanks to PAST TIMES railtours, late March 2007 has brought about a spate of interesting branch line workings to deepest Cornwall.

Branch lines that have not seen a 'real train' for several years were basking in the glory, indeed the local community band turned out at St Ives for the visit of Black 5 No 45407 on Sunday 25th.


37410 arrives at Falmouth Docks station on Sunday 25 March.
Black 5 No 45407 is on the rear of the train ready to work back to Truro.



45407 makes history as it arrives St Ives.



Later the same day 45407 heads through St Erth, junction for the St Ives branch, with a Penzance to Par working.



On Monday 26 March 37410 leads 1Z21 special down to Par Harbour, last visited by a passenger train in the early 1980s.

With the exciting news that 47306 has been purchased for preservation by the Bodmin & Wenford Railway, we thought it would be interesting to see the condition of the loco which has been stored at St Blazey for some years.

Here it is pictured on 6 March 2005, complete with nameplates.

The deal is balanced by the sale to HNRC, Barrow Hill, of the lines two class 20s, 20166 and 20197.

Below is a video clip of 47306 at work in February 2000 on the occasion of a Rugby international at Cardiff.

With the first main line run of D1015 WESTERN CHAMPION in maroon livery on 21st October being mostly in darkness, it was a week later before we got to see the new paint finish in all it's glory - and it looks FANTASTIC!

In the view below D1015 passes the famous location of Dawlish with Past Time Railtours 'Cornubian' of 28th October 2006, 1Z24 Gloucester to Penzance.

As a matter of interest, the last Western to run in maroon livery was D1046 WESTERN MARQUIS which entered Swindon Works for an overhaul & repaint at the end of January 1971.
Was that REALLY 35 years ago!

2-car Hampshire unit 205.032 performs the shuttle duties to Meldon from Okehampton on Sunday 15 October 2006.


Saturday and Sunday 14th & 15th October 2006 saw the Okehampton based Dartmoor Railway operate it's first ever diesel gala running trains from Medon Quarry right through to Coleford Jn where the Barnstaple route meets up with the former LSWR route from Plymouth to Exeter, a distance of around 16 miles.

Motive power was drawn from a mixture of stored and preserved diesels with star billing going to the Bodmin & Wenford Railways 37142 and 50042 and the two 37s owned by the BREL (Class 37 Loco Group) owned, 37198 & 37905.

Many of the trains were seen to be very busy and the whole event appears to have been a great success.
The railway hope to be able to run into Yeoford station, on the Coleford to Exeter stretch, by 2007 or 2008, which would increase accessibility for rail travellers using the Exeter-Barnstaple services.

Below are 3 video clips of special on the line, all filmed on 15th October.

37s were never common at the farthest west outpost of Penzance, though a weekly turn to collect fuel tanks from Long Rock lasted until 1999.

It was nice therefore to see that 37405, one of a handful of operational EWS 37s, made it safely out and back on it's railtour from Bournemouth on Saturday 9 September 2006.
