Thank you for posting this video! When I was a five year old my family used to go to Weymouth for the summer holidays from mid-60's. Usually on the way back from the Beach we would walk through the goods yard where a public footpath took you past the carriage sidings to Radipole lake carpark. However, occassionally we would take the footpath that follows the line to Alexander bridge. This was my first introduction to steam and it was a literally a baptism of fire when an express departed and we all got covered in smoke and cinders not once but twice as the train had a banking engine on too! Scared the hell out of me at the time - I seemed to prefer the little 03 class diesel shunters back then!
5:26 This Famous LNER Gresley A4 Pacific Express Steam Locomotive No.4498 Sir Nigel Gresley Was Built In Doncaster Locomotive Works In Doncaster South Yorkshire In England In The United Kingdom In 1937 For The London And North Eastern Railway Design By Sir Nigel Gresley Which Is Named After Is Designer A Bit Like Mallard. Thanks Mate. X
Went and saw Sir Nigel Gresley the other week... In pieces! He's currently having a complete overhaul, much like the Flying Scotsman, in York! Hopefully he'll come out just as good, it's a fine loco!

Amazing stuff! Love it.
I last went to Weymouth when the Boat Train ran down the street with a couple of GWR pannier tanks shunting duties.Early 1960s Beatles Love me do days
My great uncle Bob used to drive Flying Scotsman. He retired after 45 year service. I’ve got his retirement watch.

Some great footage.The sound, presumably dubbed, is excellent.
Didnt realise they still had the Broad Guage at Weymouth!

Excellent video, but needs downloading in the correct aspect ratio.
Got anymore of that DVD please?? Love it!
You do know the aspect ratio is wrong. The footage has been stretched. All the trains are a lot longer.
This is how it was on the DVD.
You can change the aspect ratio to 1:1 on VLC media player
Shame it is so distorted from the aspect ratio it was shot in as to be unwatchable.
Appallingly distorted images.
No worries Bruce, I'll take a trip back down to the sheds and shoot a few more vids.
