Dartmouth Steam Railway General Discusssion

I think you are confusing Peter Best with the late Peter Beet who founded Steamtown Carnforth at the end of the steam era in 1968.

Peter

 

Very true. Apologies for the confusion on my part.

 

Will be down on the class 37 hauled tour 2moro, what loco in steam please

 

6046 climbing past Goodrington Sands on 23rd May

 

Noticed there has been no “official announcement” that 6046 is on the line. Do we know for how long?

This post gave a hint. However with many commerative events in June, with reference to WW2, it seems quite appropriate.

 

Yes very true, usually they put something on the fb page as well.

Hoping 6046 is out this weekend during airshow

 

They have a lovely 37 they could use, surprised it wasn't brought out saturday to give a round trip off the Retro Railtour.

 

6046 was running yesterday and today: I have heard her chime whistle due to favourable wind direction.

 

Just seen 7820 Dinmore Manor at Churston this morning no tender there yet.

Me too, I only spotted your post on the return trip. I see she's been put in the shed now, keep her out of the rain eh .
Must just say that was a great day out today, I did the return trip and got the Kingswear Castle paddle steamer cruise just as the rain had abated , I did not realise she was still coal fired. All staff, both railway and boat, were friendly and well informed, a smartly run operation and good value for money, well done them.

All staff are friendly there I’ve been going down there for years.
We only did Kingswear & back Standard 4 there & S160 then drove 180 miles home but we’d been in Paignton since Friday.
Glad you enjoyed it down there

Please ring me. I cannot find your number N.

 

If nothing's changed, potentially staying until beginning of September...

 

Thought I read in one of the railway magazines that 6046 was due to go to Wensleydale (for there summer season) presumably that is no longer happening?

 

Id expect Wensleydale to be covered by the J27 again...
