@hemerdonbank Keith, I really appreciate your comment. It was a pity the wind was so ferocious but I guess the rough seas come with the wind. Regards, John
That was some outstanding work there John! The sea wall shot at Dawlish really beats the odds shame it was windy though and the waves splashing over the sea wall, I wish I could've gone there now that I've seen it all.
@robmasterman Bob, You must have had a calming influence on the area and my visit had quite the opposite effect. In fact the wind was so strong I had to secure the tripod to a steel pole on the jetty. Regards, John
Cracking video John, the shot at Dawlish is so dramatic with the waves crashing up against the sea wall, something of a timeless feel to the shot. At least the unit at Tiverton Parkway didn't spoil thing too much, lovely night shot.
It is really exciting to think that September and October have seen 2 different doubleheader tours pulled by no less than 4 different locomotives involved. 5029 & 60019(last month) 6024 & 70013(this month). On the Same line as wwell.
@Mikelandscaper I saw the Mayflower tour last year but missed this year. I was not going to miss a King and Britannia pairing. Thanks for your comment. Regards, John
DawLASH wall ,seething sea , twin steam giants giving it some , chemistry well captured , thanks , it was Warships for me along there on teenage holidays !!
@SuperWHIZZO Apart from the usual units that now run up and down the sea wall most locomotives and especially steam look good at this location. Regards, John
Superb :), I caught it at Teignmouth on the outward leg which must have been a matter of seconds after you did :).

Fantastic shots. A classic shot at Dawlish, and captured superbly. Your last shot is also superb, with both engines storming through the station.

Nice clips, especially along the sea wall. Adds a bit more drama with the sea crashing over the wall. Keith
