- Pride of the Dartmouth Steam Railway's locomotive fleet, 7827 "Lydham Manor" is settling back in to service on the English Riviera, having recently returned to steam following an extensive overhaul.
7827 was only the 5th locomotive to be saved from Woodhams Scrapyard in south Wales when it was rescued in 1970, first steaming in preservation in 1973. Over the following 5 decades, the 'Manor' has become a regular standout performer on the DSR, alongside cultivating a reputation for its accopanying ferocious soundtrack as it battles the challenging gradients of the Kingswear branch line.
The 'Manor' was most recently withdrawn in October 2020 for an overhaul, having previously returned to service in 2011. 7827 would re-emerge in late 2023, returning to service shortly afterwards. With 2024 marking 51 years since it first steamed in preservation, 7827 is currently settling back into regular use on the DSR, now sporting BR green livery with a late crest.
On this ocassion, 7827 would be working the DSR's Green timetable. 2024 also marks the 160th anniversary since the opening of the Kingswear branch line.

Thank you for this outstanding Video you published almost instant after you took the pictures. As many more of your videos this one does comfort me with the beautiful scenery you pick up so friendly while showing the power and glamour of an outstanding locomotive pulling a nicely composed train. Your videos sending me back into a time, when harsh shortcuts where a mistake by the editor, accomplishing the period, when a train like this was not only something you where looking forward to travel with but beeing the fastest way to get there, a place you wanted to visit. You are giving the engine, the train and the scenery a respectful portrait to admire. At the same time, without any comments during the picture, you are paying tribute to all the volunteers such a railway needs. And you have an unspoiled view on the track, whenever you start your camera. I can see this is not an easy task to fulfill and comes with long walks, taking the equipment with you. This is not just a smartphone pulled out the pocket just as the sensation appears. These are thoughtfull decided spots, gear to be set up and waiting for the timetable to take this next passing by, very slowly zooming out and only turning the sturdy tripod's fluidhead very sensitive while the engine approaches. I really appretiate your proffesionalism taking these documents of our era, when steamtrains are still there in preservation and running, long after there withdraw from the service. In earlier decades I tended to think of preserved things and machines as safe from degrading and that they will stay in my life "forever" only to find out that due to lack of finances or voluntary work these might dissappear just later. It is so good to see examples like "Lydham Manour" stronger than before in a glorious livery. The volunteers taking care fo her and keeping the train and the line running can be really proud of their valuable and successful work for heritage. Thank you again for the video and best Albrecht
Lovely to see the GWR Manor back in action. The South Devon coastline never fails to look magnificent in your videos. Many thanks for adding locations to your chapters - makes for an enhanced experience when I can check out the locations on an OS map. Good one !
Very comprehensive coverage on such a stunning day! Amazing video!
Very impressed at how quickly this locomotive has been overhauled. Can only assume that as the DSR positions itself as an all out commercial venture, they have the funds to get the job done - Unlike some locomotive preservation groups, which regrettably, can take several years, if not decades to achieve an overhaul.
Thank you for your superb video regards kevin😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Great filming again all the sights and sounds are there I always enjoy your videos.😊
Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful, amazing & excellent video of the seaside and GWR Manor class in action 👍👍
Thank you
Timeless vid, apart from those gaudy water flumes , DSR sure makes a Manor bark, fantastic aural pleasure!!!!
Always lovely to see Lydham at work for the soundtrack alone. It really does suit the DSR. Cheers, Bob!
Excellent Matt

One of the most picturesque, for sure!
Is it just me or do manors wear BR lined green and black very well?
Good video :)
Thank you
Nice video, Like.
Cheers
the red coach is back in the rake now.😁Spoils the look now
Makes this visit all the more lucky.
Hey. Can I please use some of your footage in my films? I will credit you for it.
I appreciate you asking, but I'm afraid that won't be possible at the moment.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel What!? Why not? What have I done wrong!?
You personally, nothing. However, behind the camera, many things are under review and/or readjustment, with the third party use of video currently being unavailable as a consequence. As such, it won't be possible at the moment.
Brilliant production have subscribed 😂
Very nice. Will miss her wearing BR lined back livery though.
Cheers
At least we have 7820 filling that role, thankfully.
@TheSouthernerYTChannel That's true however she's going to go for her overhaul very soon and might lose her current livery.
