This is a very scenic line Chris, isn't it! Ranging from running alongside the beach at Goodrington, crossing a high viaduct nr Churston with great views out to sea, and on the drop down towards Kingswear you go through a tunnel. Lovely line. I think the coach next to the loco is a beavertail observation coach. It's good to be in that on the return journey.
Congrats to your Son, you all must be very proud.
I wondered why my ears were burning yesterday, now I know.

Funnily enough, I don't ever remember watching 'The Railway Children', John ~ though, in a sense, I was one with my dad being a 'railwayman' for many years. (Not that I'm not OLD enough to have watched it, of course!) But 'The darling buds of May' I certainly have watched! Great series! In fact, I've a number of episodes on video!
Thanks for the kind comment ~ when I get some time I'm gone get rid of that little house on the top of the hill ~ I'm sure the owners wouldn't mind!! ;-)

Love the composition Chris with the lovely curve in towards the sea. I think the house at the top left could be removed. This brings back many memories from my chihood in England. Do you remember that wonderful TV series called "The Railway Children"? Just a little bit of smoke from the engine would just be "perfik" as Pop Larkin would say. Regards John

Morning Mr S!
Congrats to your son! :-)
Beautiful image - takes the eye around the bend very well. Who are those lucky sods living on the hill - what a glorious view they have! Some people have all the luck :-))
Enjoy your weekend!

Woooohooo !
I love steam trains. I didn't get chance to have a go on this one, maybe next time.
I do like the image though, a lovely sweep, really leads the eye into the heart of the picture. Very good.

What a busy day, you were so near to us and we didn't know. Hope all went well, and congrats to your son. This is a great shot, we have had my son daughter in law and lovely grandaughter here this evening so Den has obviously not seen this yet. I was just having a quick view before retiring - too late.

Thanks for the kind comment, Bart!
I may well yet try a sepia version of this image with the house cloned or cropped out.
Kind regards, Chris

I love this picture. If it wasn't for the rather modern looking house in the upper left you'd almost think it was a journey in the early 1900's or so (maybe you can crop that).
A great image...
