Real steam with a ghosting diesel the correct way to run a heritage rail tour.

The Catles were sweet little engines full of character - the chocolate and cream livery so evocative. If nationalisation does come about (please) it would be great to return to proper regional liveries, ok a logistical nightmare but lets bring some fun back into modern travel.

I would like nationalisation as well, hopefully stops stuff like 800s 😂, I can agree castles agree great

Agreed - but I don't think "fun" of any kind whatever figures in the mindset of those proposing re-nationalisation.

Always best to see a departure instead of racing past trees. Well done! Unfortunately just leaving Plymouth it failed to make it up Hemerdon Bank and needed the diesel assistance.

Thanks, yea it was a shame about it up hemerdon as the whole point was that it’s going solo 😂

Brilliant captures there, definitely a good day for that line!! Me being me, the 47 definitely would have stolen the show for me, always more of a diesel guy myself but Clun Castle was definitely impressive there! 😎👍 Great video mate!

Dear Sir, please tell me what is “sweet”about Clun Castle? Yes it is a handsome machine as most GWR locomotives were. Sweet is hardly the right adjective to describe it .Being born in Bristol and lived in the West Country for most of my life I do feel that I have a qualified opinion.
