- As is regular operating procedure for the "Dorset Coast Explorer" Railtours, operated by Saphos Trains, the steam locomotive at the helm of the tour detaches at Yeovil on the outward leg. From here, while the tour is worked to Weymouth under diesel power, the steam loco works light to the Yeovil Railway Centre to be turned and serviced, before running light to Weymouth and hauling the return leg of the tour to Bristol Temple Meads.
Ex-SR Rebuilt 'West Country' Class - 34046 "Braunton", owned by Icons of Steam, once again provided the motive power for the tour, having also worked last weeks rendition.
The Rebuilt Bulleid Pacific arrived at the Railway Centre mid-morning, staying until 2pm. Upon leaving the Yeovil Railway Centre, "Braunton" travelled South toward Weymouth, caught by the cameras at Bincombe, in preparation for working the "Dorset Coast Explorer" on the return leg. As 34046 lifted the Railtour out of Weymouth, the cameras stayed at Bincombe to bear witness to the Bulleid striding up the 1 in 50 gradient heading back toward Bristol.
All footage filmed on Wednesday the 3rd of July 2019.
It was a pleasure to watch such a well made video. So many people these days do not know how to use a video camera, they use it like a hosepipe and spray it everywhere. If they had been using a cine camera the cost of film would soon teach them how to use a camera properly. The idea is to hold your audience attention and this film certainly did. Excellent work - well done.
Superb filming of a great looking Braunton, nice close ups too, fine example of British engineering of day's gone by.
Love it.
7:37 - 7:53: So serene and gorgeous

Very good video, shows off some of the work that goes on at Yeovil railway centre and good southern engine coming too
Super video friend !!!
Fantastic locomotive 😍👏👏👏👏👏
Prefer unrebuilt West Country locos. Is Yeovil loco she’d still there? Home Counties Railfans did a shed tour back in the 1960s we visited Yeovil. Nice T9s plus some ex LMS locos. The cream of the trip was a visit to Salisbury sheds. Great vids ta!
when Flying Scotsman visited San Francisco, I was underwhelmed by
how small it is compared to American steamers.
Very great video :)
Braunton looks beautiful as she always does and love those whistles she does
Why didn't it have a support coach?
A support coach is only required if the locomotive is travelling over a certain distance.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel ah ok thanks.
Wonderful video by the way :)
Thanks very much
hope she get lined out as well. it dont look right just plaine.
It will eventually im sure but its making money for the operator when its running
Must say, I quite like it.
