Lydham Manor 7827 on The Dartmouth Valley Railway 2013

Over the weekend of 8th and 9th June a brief visit to The Dartmouth Valley Railway gave me the opportunity to capture GWR 7800 Class "Lydham Manor" 7827 on duties between Paignton and Kingswear. We first see 7827 climbing away from Goodrington heading for Kingswear then capture her arrival at Kingswear. A delightful town situated on the River Dart Estuary which has a ferry crossing to the equally delightful town of Dartmouth. A paddle steamer frequents the area giving rides up the River and makes a splendid sight when she sails by. After 7827 does a run round we see her depart for Paignton with the spectacular observation car behind the Locomotive. Next it's back to Goodrington this time from the station where we witness the train make her call, only a short hop round the next corner and we end the scene at Paignton station as 7827 creeps around the bend and runs into the terminal for the DVR. Special trains do run through from the mainline onto the DVR making for a superb trip such as the recent visit of "Bittern" on The Cathedrals Express from Banbury to Kingswear on 21st May of this year. The scenic railway is really worth a visit if you are close by. "Lydham Manor" looks absolutely immaculate for an engine that is now 63 years old and still going strong.
