Excellent - Branch engine 4561 - featured numerous times in the film went to Barry and was rescued by the West Somerset Railway Association in September 1975 and in which I have an £80 (1975 value) shareholding. After many years of a major overhaul I hope it will be returned to steam soon

thank you for the video brought back reminders of myself and my late uncle retracing the line in 1982

Thanks for updating the video as it's been a few years since the first release. 60 years next week since the branch closed.

Hence why the update. I wanted to have it all ready for the anniversary.

When you see and experience the clogged up roads of the South Hams it makes you wonder why there was a rush to close the branch instead of mothballing it and using it today, especially freight. The 60s BR were very short-sighted@@AarchiveRailways

Is the narrator Mr Lilley still alive as he has/had a distinctive Plymouth accent.
