The stall may not have been what the crew or passengers wanted or expected (although the passengers looked happy enough), it made for very dramatic video footage. Well captured, Alan.

I am American and so like American steam the best; but British steam is nice, too, and has a classy, elegant look all its own. Nice video, beautiful engine.

The whole day turned out to be a "make the best of a bad job" day but I think it turned out O.K.. This video took 15 hours to upload with my current broadband connection!!!!!

I went on the 'proper' Torbay Express from Pddington in the fifties headed by a Castle with fourteen coaches behind. At Newton Abbott the Castle left us as did a number of coaches which split off and went to Bristol. We continued on to Paignton for our holiday at Broadsands and I saw City of Truro one day going over the Broadsands viaduct. That was a very memorable holiday.

Hi and thank you for your interesting reminiscences. City of Truro was stationed at Paignton to promote the launching of Westward TV, the West country ITV service. I remember it was a hot summer and I went crawling around it under the boiler to view the motion and burnt my naked back. No H&S back then! Kind regards, Alan

The Class 47 at the rear was in Intercity Swallow livery, and the steam engine upfront was a different LNER steamy: A4 Sir Nigel Gresley. There's a video on my channel, Sir Nigel Gresley with Saphos Steam Dreams Railtour & Friends, which is calling your name.
