Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway Linesiding August 2009

It is true, it is not a very enthusiast friendly railway sadly.

Although, it has a new manager, and they're getting rid of that awful station at Paignton!

Great vid

My favorite engine is Warrior 4555. I rode behind her in 06, and she is the most beautiful of the tank engines. She is down waiting her turn for an overhaul after Trojan 4588 is done with hers. I also hope the Brave Heart returns to steam soon.

Great Video, 5 Stars!

They are a business. The company is called "Dart Rail". They have been for years. The staff are paid. There MAY be some volunteers but most of them are paid as they are a company not a charity. Cheers

hang on why is a working busyness a bad thing? i think its good for steam engines to do revenue earning service

[steampics]

it is good in my opinion but the common opinion isn't like mine lol

Great video mate, looks like you had some bad weather but you made the most out of it, loved the final shot. Suprised they let 7827 loose with 9 in the rain, struggles with 7 on a dry day! I'm sure you'll like the WSR, 5*s

Cheers mate. Yeah I was surprised. 4277 did the Saturday alongside 7827 then it went back to single loco service and it was 7827 alone all week. I would of liked "Goliath" but its nice to see the Manor as most of the time the two tank's seem to do all the work nowadays! lol. I wouldn't mind seeing "Trojan" run just to say I had but I doubt they'll ever do that one as its for sale. Fingers crossed for "Warrior" though! lol. Cheers.

Well yeah shame about Trojan, hopefully someone will buy her soon and get her back running, I think if the P&D bought another powerful loco after her they would sell Warrior and have an all powerful line up, just for the record I've seen in this order 5239, 6435, 75014, 4555 and 4277 run on the P&D

[Chris9017]

Warrior is my favorite. I talked to the P&D and there are no plans to sell her. They'll keep it for lighter traffic days, so she'll be taking over Ajax's job.

great shots there mate, i've just come back from devon aswell, and had 2 visits to this wonderful line, i must say 4277 is my personal favourite engine there, just looks perfect on the coaches and PDSR/GWR livery!

great shots mate, hope you had a nice holiday, 5*

Cheers mate. 4277 is a nice engine. I've seen 6435, 4555, 7827 & 4277 in service now, just need to see the bigger 2-8-0 "Goliath". I was very surprised that 7827 was put on all week as I expected one of the exceedingly powerful tank engines. Next hol starts next Sat, based at Blue Anchor alongside the WSR so we'll see what thats like! lol. Cheers for watching mate.
