    Brilliant Mark,you know Dawlish is one of my favourite places and its great to see such good pics of the places I used to visit every year on holiday.I have not been down there lately but Shirley and I plan a visit soon.Not much to see railway wise nowadays but I still love walking along the sea wall.
    As I said great pics now we want to see all your videos when there was something to see!!!

    Cheers Nick.

    I was surprised at how much there actually has been over the last 2 years,seems we go on the right weeks!!!

    I really need that piece of kit that will allow me to put the vids onto the PC! Been watching some of the old stuff lately,we have some great footage locked away!

    Cheers,
    Mark
