The final Torbay Express of 2018 was run on the 9th of September with 35028 Clan Line as motive power. I managed to get 4 shots, two each way at Creech St Michael and Starcross on the outward train and Dawlish Warren and Creech St Michael, again, on the return.
The Royal Duchy run on the 2nd of September proved to be eventful. 34052 Lord Dowding worked the train from Taunton to Par after West Coast 37668 had brought the train in from Bristol Temple Meads. I videoed the down train at 3 locations , Marlands at Whiteball, Langford Bridge and Treboul...

Pathfinders Mazey Day Cornishman ran on the 23rd June 2018 with 50007 Hercules and 50049 Defiance in charge. The locos carried names and numbers of long gone classmates on one side only, 50007 had 50006 Neptune and 50049 had 50011 Centurion.
The train is seen on Rattery at Ashridge near Tigley...
I have to say, even as a GWR fan, that 35028 Clan Line is one awsome locomotive. My video show the Merchant Navy class engine performing amazingly all day on Pathfinders Cornishman at various locations including Treboul and Burlescombe..
45212 worked part the Cathedrals Express from Taunton to Kingswear and later returned the train to Slough.37668 was used quite a lot especially on the climbs and was also used for shunting at Kingswear.

First Torbay of the 2018 season saw 35028 Clan Line work from Bristol Temple Meads to Kingwear. My video shows the trtain at a rather cloudy Dawlish and storming passed Stoke Canon on the return.
Glorious Deven sunshine persuaded me to get out for the day so I headed to Paington and Dartmouth Railway for a few shots of 75014 Braveheart. My video shows the train at Greenway Tunnel,Noss Marina and departing Greenway Halt.
Black 5 45212 worked the Cathedrals Express form London Victoria to Bristol Temple meads. My video shows the train at Grateley,Wylye,Upton Scudamore and Grateley again.
Day 8 of the Great Britain XI was passing through near to where I live so it was an easy decision to go out and get a few shots. 45212 worked the cardiff to Yeovil Junction leg and is seen at Strap Lane Bruton. At Yeovil 31806 was attached so it would lead from Yeovil Pen Mill to Weymouth with...
