  • KING FOR A SUMMER
    This is the inside story of 6024 "King Edward l" and her storming performances at the head of the Torbay Express during the summer of 2008. Having taken over from the Bulleid Pacific "Tangmere", the 6024 Preservation Society was determined that their engine would stand up to the gruelling challenges of Whiteball Bank and the hilly spine of land that separates Paignton from Kingswear. The TV documentary crew rode with 6024 for several weeks and the resulting documentary provides an exquisite insight into how the King reigned supreme for a summer.

    The bloke in the cab seems unprotected from a fall. The younger bloke with the rag in his hand. Looks dangerous.

      You'll probably have to search for it online as I don't think it is on RUclips.

      A silly and stupid convention…English language trying to be better than it is…There is a term which escapes me for the mo’ ..that describes such presumptious b/s like some secret ‘inside lingo’…

      Yea, sometimes, depends on the name th
      if a locomotive has a male name, it's more likely it will be referred to as a "he"
      Man usually refers to things they have fond to alot as if they were Women,

    The narrative is superb. Perhaps someone can enlighten us as to whose voice that is. Otherwise, utter western dullness.
