Title: Happy accident - came across this scene Post by: grahame on June 03, 2018, 06:53:22 I'll admit to being far more concerned with daily transport stuff than one off specials ... but this scene I came across yesterday was rather special. Braunton - which hauled the Steam Special from Melksham to Stratford upon Avon a few years back - in disguise and at a slightly larger station.
The sun shone, the seagulls chirped, and the spectator crowd stood far enough back to give everyone a good view Title: Re: Happy accident - came across this scene Post by: CJB666 on June 03, 2018, 10:16:40 Lord Dowdiing - why?

Also not spoilt by 'background music' which really gets my goat. It's a rail video, let's hear rail. If I wanted music, I will play music. Sorry, rant over. Lovely video. Again, thanks Title: Re: Happy accident - came across this scene Post by: bobm on June 03, 2018, 12:58:06 Slightly more run of the mill... earlier today on the seawall near Sprey Point, Teignmouth

But 75 years ago was 1943 and the battle of Britain was in 1940 ??? Correct! They just haven't restored the 'proper' name in almost three years >:( Title: Re: Happy accident - came across this scene Post by: grahame on June 23, 2018, 20:38:52 I'll admit to being far more concerned with daily transport stuff than one off specials ... but this scene I came across yesterday was rather special.
