Description

Two films on one DVD! Ride with the driver and experience the blast of a 12 car, double-headed run up the step bank to Crowcombe, travel the line on the footplate of visiting engine 7607 and run tender-first with Dinmore Manor. The superb visit of King and Castle, Mogul and Pannier in March 2000 are also splendidly recorded.

Full description from the producer:

Big locos and a long scenic line combine to offer a viewing feast. This is a combination of our two videos on this line: West Somerset Revisited and Up Front on the West Somerset Railway. About “Up Front on the West Somerset Railway” Up Front on the West Somerset Railway offers stunning trackside views but you will also ride with the driver. Experience the blast of a 12 car, double-headed run up the step bank to Crowcombe, travel the line on the footplate of visiting engine 76079, see just what it’s like to run tender-first with Dinmore Manor. You will see the firing, watering, driving, all the hard work and hear the din! The superb visit of King and Castle, Mogul and Pannier in March 2000 are also splendidly recorded offering scenes not repeated since the great days of the holiday express. Shot in fine weather with nice photography.
