This comment may be two years late - but David & I really appreciated your kindness and Christian support during our very difficult time back then. We feel blessed having you as our dear friends, on rainy days as well as on the sunny ones. God bless you both xx.
Hi there! There are two more reasons why I love watching the videos you make. One of the reasons; I like the subject of the recordings and it turns me off when I watch the reports. The other reason; I am preparing for an advanced level English language exam at home. It is very useful for me to listen to the speech of an English person. If I do not understand everything, I read the caption. So, I am happy to watch the videos you have made. And, I thank you. :-)
Thank you for your comments Richard. We send you our Best Wishes for learning English, although I am UK born I still have problems when it comes to spelling! Mike
All the carriages use components from the original ones. These components vary from doors to entire compartments. Makes the coaches rebuilds not new builds
@@coppercappedproductions506 I wasn't aware there were that many original parts around. The carriage marooned at Snapper Halt comes to mind. Wasn't a rake of carriages sold by the L&B a few years back?
@@rsalt6015 Yes but they weren't original, they were initially used at a railway in Thorpe park, before being sold for use on the L&B / the lynbarn railway. They were sold off as they were surplus to requirements, after the arrival of the restored heritage coaches. The carriage at snapper (number 15?) is now a regular preformer at the Ffestiniog railway, being named "snapper bar". Many original components from the railways coaches survive, either items bought as souvenirs after closure or, quite often, sections of coaches were sold off for use as chicken coops and garden sheds. These remains are being stored safely and are planned to be restored by the railways Essex support group, their next project being the restoration of van 23.
WSR Volunteers are busy keeping nature at bay and doing other vital infrastructure tasks. There are events planned including the opening of Minehead shop, Readers Halt bookshop and café on every Saturday. Bishops Lydeard shop is also open every Saturday. Stay safe.
No it's Woody Bay not Woody Hall. Its in North Devon. Drive from Lynmouth through the valley of the rocks past Lee Bay. Its the next cove along. When I was a child we climbed down with a picnic. My mum, dad, an aunt & cousin & two dogs. We got cut off by the tide & had to climb over rocks to get to safety. Dad slipped & picnic stuff fell in the sea & we ended our trip wading through the water helped by a local fisherman. I think that was in the early sixties.
@@brightbox9414 If you read my reply to Hamish Cummings question I tell a little story of getting cut off by the tide. We used to go to Lee Bay a lot. You park at the top & walk down the cliff path. One year the beach was covered in huge jelly fish so we couldn't go in the water. They were Portuguese Man of War ones. Rare in these waters.

The real McCoy, steam and smoke up the nostrils. Narrow gauge quite a rarity these days. Thankyou to you both for sharing your journeys.
It's our pleasure.

Hi great video train at woody bay is excellent narrow gauge railway.
My wife and I enjoyed meeting Val the other day in watchet.
Thanks Lee. I know she also enjoyed meeting you and Emma. I look forward to seeing you both later in the year.
Well done Mike and Val ! That must have been fun after all those "steamless" days. Saves you going off the rails.
Nice to see things getting back to some kind of normal.Very good
It's been too long without Steam traction - thanks for your comment.
Great video Mike.
Thanks Steve
The L&B Carriage stock is relatively new, built as near as possible, to original design.

A GOOD VIDÈO. WHERE IS WOODY HALL.?
No it's Woody Bay not Woody Hall. Its in North Devon. Drive from Lynmouth through the valley of the rocks past Lee Bay. Its the next cove along. When I was a child we climbed down with a picnic. My mum, dad, an aunt & cousin & two dogs. We got cut off by the tide & had to climb over rocks to get to safety.

@@lizoliver4407 Oh dear you won't ever forget that place will you. Thanks for your reply.
Where’s woody bay?
Along the coast from Lynmouth. Drive by the Valley of the rocks & you find Lee Bay & then Woody Bay. North Devon.
Liz Oliver I think we,v been here. A few years ago. After we went to lynmouth
