B1 Battles the Breeze
-
For the 2nd time this year, a short trip to the English Riviera. Thompson B1 No. 61306 ‘Mayflower’ was in town with the "Torbay Express” - I know the tour was called ‘Steam Dreams to Torbay, Paignton & Dartmouth’, but that’s a terrible name! For those onboard, it was a windy day out to the stunning harbours of Kingswear and Dartmouth. For me, a recording nightmare. The sound quality in places is absolutely shocking, even for my standards. On top of that, there would’ve been a sixth shot at Cockwood Harbour if I pressed record! Anyway, with my long lens, shots were taken at:
00:00 Mayflower Storms On
00:10 East Nynehead
00:57 Coombe Cellars
03:48 Hookhills Viaduct
04:56 Greenway Halt
05:43 Higher Dartmouth Ferry
There was no shortage of whistles in this film.
I hope you enjoy watching this. If you did, please like, comment and subscribe, it really is rather flattering.
