Finally after months and months with no steam, mainline or otherwise I set off today for my first whiff of it, with Royal Scot 46100 heading up the English Riviera Express from Bristol to Kingswear and return. The forst shot at Oath didnt go to plan as my camcorder having been in its box for a while decided to have the sulks and refused to record my first shot! I did however manage a going away shot! Things picked up after that and I had a great shot of 46100 working away up through Beambridge, followed by a return shot at Marlands and then a final one at Bathpool just outside Taunton. Not a bad start (eventually!) to 2020. Long may it continue!

Some clips from Stogumber Station taken during 2019 on the West Somerset Railway. Something to look forward to for this year!

The moment when 6024 regained her boiler at Minehead! Thursday 9th January saw the return of the Kings' boiler to Minehead along with the new ashpan. After a bit of juggling It finally sat down in the frames once more. Quite a watershed moment!

A mix of both mainline and heritage steam in 2017 for your enjoyment. Please like if you enjoy it and maybe consider subscribing.

On the way up to the 6024 xmas party we decided to stop off and film A4 60009 Union of South Africa returning from Worcester to London. Seen here on the climb from Honeybourne.

I went to WSR today to get a few shots of Pannier 6430 before she returns home at the end of the week. I couldnt have picked a wetter day, although it did brighten up later on! I realise that I have transcribed the number wrong on one of the clips but wasn't re-doing it just for that!

Braunton was the motive power for todays trip from Bristol to Kingswear. The sun came out and the loco went beautifully. I hope you enjoy the video!

I decided to venture out for a couple more shots this week as I had more time, and Braunton was in my locality. Firstly on the outward at Queen Camel, then Thornford for the LE move, and finally climbing up to Evershot Tunnel on the return.

The Duchess seen here at Bruton and then at Bishops Lydeard, along with some footage on the WSR. Unfortunately the return was hauled by diesel due to the Duchess setting fires on the outward rip, necessitating Network Rail stopping it. A full steam ban is now unfortunately in force. We can only hope for substantial rain and soon!
