What a wonderful video. Makes me proud of my country and it's achievements, soon to be distant memories.

[@markshrimpton3138]

Thank you for uploading this. It brings back memories of the early 1960s. My grandparents who lived across in Exmouth took my brother and me up to Exeter to board the Penzance bound express, because steam was being withdrawn and my grandfather informed us the we would never see steam locomotives again. He wasn’t to know, how could anyone, that years later steam outings would run again.

There is nothing like a steam train, stirs something inside of me.
Thank you for putting your video out there. Much appreciated.

[@pamelawhite3709]

Wow thank you Neil he's not hanging around is he I could almost smell the steam fantastic video as always 😮😊xx

[@peterdollins3610]

Thanks for memories of my days as a Fireman on the GWR first at Newton Abbot then from Didcot 1957 to 62 and of Dawlish where we then lived. Often Steam Engines need a Diesel as in earlier days sand was constantly dried in the depots to put straight in the sand boxes. I doubt if they have such a facility now so the wheels will probably spin on the higher gradients. Even in my day we'd often get a banker Steam Engine come in behind the train to assist.

Superb scenes of superb subjects and locations. Thank all your team who made a great job of filming the event and yourself for sharing it with us all.

Steam is living a dream!

[@obiwankenobi6952]

Wow…can’t believe how fast this train still is…❤❤❤

[@derekryan4299]

lol its only 60 mph on that bit

[@SionsTrainVideos]

@@derekryan4299 teignmouth to newton abbot has 90mph but they probs went to 70 or 75

[@tonys1636]

To be able to run on main lines all locomotives/rolling stock have to still be capable of 100mph even if not required on the lines used on an excursion. There is a documentary around depicting her test run at that speed after the restoration. It's so that main line services aren't delayed on 2 track sections of fast lines such as the East and West Coast Main lines when used.

[@SionsTrainVideos]

@@tonys1636 ok but Devon and Cornwall dosnet have very fast tracks especially west of Newton Abbot because there is a 100mph from Marsh Barton to Starcross but that's only a few miles

[@hoolahoop3137]

Great video. Love the camera getting engulfed in steam at Brunel😊 Thank you

[@GricesGrowlers]

Excellent video just subscribed 👍

[@J40BGT]

[@margarethughes3763]

That's a lot of steam.

[@moyrawoodward2291]

Magnificent. One day, hopefully, I get to be a passenger.

[@robertboughton11]

Good evening Neil.

[@davidbailey533]

Great to see no diesel on back

[@cliffuk.704]

I don't understand why they do that. Relied on steam alone for 150 years +.

[@SJTrains2024]

@@cliffuk.704 Not all locomotives were designed for the steep banks of Devon and Cornwall and would struggle alone,so a diesel is needed to push it up the hills

[@davidbailey533]

@@SJTrains2024 yeah as scotsman going to Par if she had ten or more coaches on diesel be required as she only had 9 no need for diesel

[@christine5557]

❤😍

[@tonys1636]

Just a coincidence as watched this as I started to watch a C4 programme on Britains most Luxurious Trains. The ones owned by a company that does these historic tours. The one I'm about to watch is on the Midland Pullman.

[@cliffuk.704]

Thanks for that Neil.

[@southernload5710]

That's nice, my dad filmed a similar steam engine in America. It made its last run about 50 years ago and he HAD to film it with his reel to reel video recorder.

[@TheRealDandyes1997]

I was watching that!
