Dartmouth Steam Railway General Discusssion

Update. 4555 still running in. S160 on service train tomorrow.

 

Have you actually any experience of the loco? It will provide an exciting journey for the keen loco enthusiast and be capable of the demands made of it on this steep railway.

 

I’m thinking it’s going to make a lovely noise pulled out of goodrington with wet rails today.

Yes I have driven that type. Nothing to add.

 

Is the s160 on trains 2moro (Sunday)

 

Any news on 4555?

 

What's on service train today please

 

253 been shown to be operating these last few days on Facebook.

 

Drummond M7? Thought it was scrapped decades ago?

Tom

 

An M7 really would be something different along there...

 

When is S160 in service please. Went saturday and the manor was out

 

4555 was out today, nice to see it back in action

 

Good to see it back out. The crest is a new addition since last in traffic I believe.

I assume on the smoke box the red circle will be painted in time?

Whats in steam 2moro please

 

the light on the front should be red too so the colour is actually an authentic one as it would have been built.

 

The livery is not authentic, it shouldn’t have the crest. That was reserved for express engines, Hall Class and above

 

How have they got this so wrong?

 

It’s not the first time, they have previously done it with the Manor and the 2-8-0 Tank. At least they gave the given this one a stupid name

 

I like it how they do the colours it looks traditional. but not all of the names. I like Goliath as a name for one but Lydian manor doesn’t mean anything
