Imagine just waiting for the train and some guy with a accent and camera comes up and goes 'ah yes, the detail here on this locomotive is very detailed...' .
haha! I've often felt like doing that myself, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
"The running plate is made of metal and I think the loco weighs quite a lot. Not sure if my layout could handle it to be honest, but the pulling power should be rather impressive."
Lmao
Unbelievable, wasting valuable SD storage on that Hitachi instant piles people mover, shame on you Sam
And yes the boofers are sproong but I don’t expect anything less at the price we are expected to pay even if I got mine from Hattons at the grand price of £3,,500,000 and for that yes the cab roof opens boot the whistles are plastic
3:52 - This model has some good Cab Detail with some extra fitted parts.
It does actually - would love to know who made it! :O
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
As someone who helped with the previous overhaul of Goliath this was very nice to see. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing!! You're the second person to say that! I love the loco - very impressive machine! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains I’m glad to hear!
@@SamsTrains count me the third, but I'm also now; through my work at as a volunteer at the east Somerset railway, an apprentice in the engineering department
@@SamsTrains i believe engines like this one was built to pull heavy coal trains in south wales
@@eliotreader8220 it was used in the neath area of South Wales
I've been lucky enough to visit this line. The scenery round the line is stunning 😍
Ahh lucky you - yes it's gorgeous isn't it? :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Ive been there many times
On my "to visit" list of heritage railways of the UK.
By the way, nice version of the 52xx at 304,8mm per foot at the beginning. And with a real creeping speed, no cogging, and a real steam sound !
You forgot to mention the synchronised smoke
Go for it Oliver - highly recommended! Yeah absolutely... wish I knew which motor it was using... I'd buy some for my locos!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I helped overhaul goliath at East somerset railway for 2 years from 2017 to 2019
That's awesome!! Was it fun to work on? :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains it was fantastic and very interesting to see all the components come together also we are restoring 4110 an large paririe which hasn’t ran in preservation
Omaha isn't a Canadian Pacific loco.....she is a US built S160 loco, built for the war effort in the second world war, the US equivalent to the UK Austerities..... She was imported back from Europe and restored.
I’m just curious does ‘Goliath’ sport a sprung buffer or two?
I didn't get chance to check this time - gutted!! :'(
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The answer is...
yes!
I saw the sprung buffers being... well.. sprung buffers.
That’s a beauty of a railway, I was fortunate enough to visit the great western steam railway recently. They had a beautiful merchant navy class there that sounded great in the tunnels.
Awesome video as usual 👍👍
I always go to the Dartmouth steam Railway every year, I never get bored of riding it.
I never get bored either - it's a lovely railway! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Very Good Sam - seeing that these Heritage Line are up & running again!!! 🙂🚂🚂🚂
Every time me and my family go camping to Paignton, we always visit the beach and water park area where I see one of the highlights of the first day down at Paignton which is the trains going by and me getting waved at. I was so excited that you have been on that railway.
By the way the beach I was on about was Goodrington.
Thanks for the visit and ride, steam padlle wheel ship was a great bonus.
Awesome man I'm so glad you were able to finally get out and enjoy this journey thanks for taking us along
Very nice. I enjoyed the ride. Almost felt like I was there. Thank you.
Happy memories. We took our family holiday in Dartmouth in 1974 just so we could ride this railway, not long after it opened. Our holiday apartment on the other side of the river had a perfect view of the trains arriving and departing.
This was something very different. Great video. I like seeing the real things every now and then.
Thank you so much for the English tour. I’m in SE USA and it is fun to call up your route on maps. Thanks again; do more of these!
You, too?! I keep Google Earth handy to follow along and understand more about my CZcams travelers' trips and the places they visit. It is fun.
haha awesome! Yes I've done that from time to time on travel vlogs too! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I just saw 2 videos about the Dartmouth steam railway one by Sam and the other by trains, boats and planes
hi sam..great video...brought back my child hood memories late 50s early 60s when the steam era was being killed off.... thanks
This is a wonderful video. Very informational and inspirational.
I've always been in love with british steam locomotives, but these locomotives are beautiful in their own ways!
I am totally Speechless.. Awesome looking Goliath there.. That too in action.. Wow loved it. And off course Steamboat was a bonus. Great job..
Nice to see you have been getting out and about instead of being stuck in that loft for hours on end!
Sammy’s on tour! Great work! Nice to see you out and about. Great video as always mate. Hope you had a good trip
Great memories of travelling on that line in the seventies as a kid. We used to stay at Waterside Holiday Park where it runs along the edge of the site.
Great video there Sam liked the 800 at the beginning of the video hope you had a good time at the railway.
Think of the poor firemen on the ferry. They have to hand load the coal for each days cruises. About 4 tons.
I do enjoy watching your days out on the trains the past couple have been brill!
A nice day in the summer is the round robin. It depends on tide time on which way you travel round or where you start. If you start at Totnes, the route is open top bus to Paignton, Steam train to Kingswear, ferry to Dartmouth and boat trip up the Dart to Totnes. You can go the opposite direction but because of tides it may dictate which way round you travel. During summer, the trains stop at Churston because that is the crossing point of trains. If there is only one train running then there is no need to stop there. Pleased you enjoyed the journey.
Went to this railway in July of this year as I have friends living in totnes. If you were looking for models there’s a model shop about a minute walk from the station. Worth a look if you go again.
Lovely video aswell, keep up the good work 👌
Yes you're absolutely right - that's where my lovely Hornby White Pullman came from many years ago! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Watching your videos always makes my day better :)
I really enjoyed seeing and hearing that 2-8-0 tank engine. I was also impressed with the smooth ride. Cheers from Wisconsin!
Nice one sam, that was a treat as I am a fan of gwr both steam and modern image ,cheers for sharing 👍
Love the South Devon Railway … & Kingswear… the chain ferry across the river to Dartmouth is a fun short crossing
Lovely video. I went on this in September and I only live 5 minutes away from Paignton station. Goliath is an absolute beast.
Blimey, that takes me back to the mid 50's when I was five or six. Used to go to Brixham for our holidays, always caught the Kingsweir Castle for the trip from Paiggton to Brixham, there must be some of my DNA on those seats !:0)
That's great to hear Geoffrey - proper trains and proper holidays in those times no doubt!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
*and as you can see the buffers are sprung, the detailing is amazing, beautifully painted cab, the handrails are metal, the whitsle is metal too*
And extremely hot, ow!
A delightful video Thanks. From Canada: It is great to see these British railways. I have British model railways but I always wonder what the stations, and scenery look like. I hope that you do more of these.
Great video. Another good little rail line to go on is the Buckfastleigh railway that runs between Buckfastleigh and Totnes which isn't very far from Paignton. You can also see into the maintenance shed where they work on the trains.
Thanks a lot - yeah that's one of my favourites - got some videos of that line on the channel actually! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
i remember going there sam
the train i was on was braveheart and it got delayed by about 1 hour beacuse of a lineside fire that happned glad to see its still going
thx ben :)
I’ve not been on the Paignton And Dartmouth Railway but I love to travel on it as well, and seeing the paddle steamer is a very good bonus to see as well, and I love steam engines and not just trains, so anything steam related, is always great for me.
Thanks Lewis - hope you can go one day! Yeah the boat was a real bonus for me too! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
If you do make it down one day, there are 2 others you can visit one at Buckfastleigh and the other in Plymouth called Plym Bridge railway. All are great.
I love the livery on Hercules (4200 class) and Goliath (5205 class). Wish Hornby had done both in their GWR lined green with nameplates, but unfortunately no.
It is interesting how maybe half of this railway's coaching stock is actually ex-DMU stock (class 116 and 117 centre coaches).
I did this railway when I was little, travelling all the way from the north east to Devon and Cornwall for may half term. I more recently saw it in 2014 on tour with the National Methodist Youth Brass Band, but didn't get to ride on it. (I also went on that waterpark too...)
I do wonder why the locos shunt into the siding by the signal box before running round. The canadian pacific loco you mentioned is actually a USATC S160 class loco designed for european use during WWII and built to fit within the UK loading gauge, this specific one being built by Baldwin for the Polish Railways. Another is preserved at the K&WVR, nicknamed Big Jim.
The livery Goliath carries was never actually carried by the class hence why Hornby didn't do it. The locos shunt into the headshunt at Kingswear to pick up the fireman who operates the groundframe- helps to speed up the run round!
@@StaxRail except Hornby has done Flying Scotsman in both wartime black and apple green with smoke deflectors, a preservation only livery. Same goes for the 9F Cock O The North, and of course Bachmann with the 4MT tank 80135 in green. Plus Tornado, which only exists in preservation. There's no reason Hornby couldn't do both Hercules and Goliath as preserved.
And makes sense, yeah.
@@lapiswake6583 Ill be honest I wish they did do both the DSR heavy freight tanks as I work on them regularly, but I doubt itll happen
I love seeing you out and about on real railways. Hope you come visit SVR or Llangollen sometime.
Good morning,
I am glad you enjoyed our 'Steam and Cruise' package.
Maybe, next time you could try our word renowned 'Round Robin' excursion.
Regards,
Charles
Paignton Station Master
Think time Sams trains done the famous blue bell railway with vast engines and history behind it even late Bob Symes visited and modled the raikway great video Sam always look forward to a great video from yourself.
Hi Sam..Thanks for this refresh video...done that trip many times. Absolutely fabulous.... Have you ever popped over the Dart to Dartmouth to see the station building with no track. (its a lovely cafe now) and there is a interesting story placard as to why this is so. Cheers kiddo. All the best
Hi Sam, If you said you were coming down , I would have put the kettle on, All the Best Brian 🤗
I went on the paddle steamer with my dad back in 2018 with a friend.
I also went on the steam train too
The Hornby 2-8-0 and 2-8-2 is on my 'to buy' list. Both used to haul minerals up the valley I grew up in.
I’ve also been on a live steamboat, the oldest functioning one in the Southern Hemisphere
Thoroughly enjoyed the video thanks again Sam and keep up the informative and inspiring videos Cheers.Lewis.👍👌
Thanks so much Lewis - that's really lovely to hear! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains my pleasure and your welcome
A nice interlude thanks Sam
Ah yes another railfanning trip with sam's train. Pretty cool to see some British steamers.
Thanks a lot David - glad you like seeing them! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam thanks again for another awesome and informative video.
I always thought that the british railways logo on the last brown carriage you showed was a triang things so you learn new stuff every day hey.
Cheers from John in Australia.
Great video. I. Believe they also own Lydham Manor which is awaiting overhaul. I have the mainline model of it. Hoping to go there soon. Cheers Paul .
Hi Sam, a lovely video. Love the real videos of real trains. See you next video!
Thanks so much Isaac - see you soon! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Nice one Sam, I'm going down to Paignton next week to visit family, but hope to take in the Dartmouth line while I'm there (if its running)
Hi Sam Hope you enjoyed your time on the Dartmouth railway
Thanks so much Thomas - I absolutely did! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrainsI have a photo of goliath the engine that you have seen
These videos are fantastic! I love them!
5:34 Sam, have you heard of a TV show called Tugs? That boat got me all excited 😆
That Railway is beautiful you can still drive up and down it on Train Simulator as I have done with some good engines including Clan Line also Omaha is a USATC S160 fantastic video Sam hope you have fun visiting other lines
Wow we were there just a few weeks ago rode with goliath and omaha and saw braveheart running too! Suprised you didnt mention about the only station built that has never or will never see a train go to it.
Great video it's great watching a very rare video of Sam's adventures
haha thank you! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Good cab details on these!
‘‘Twas very good to see! Cheers from Christchurch New Zealand.
It will be nice to see an indigenous loco back on this line in the form of Large Prairie No 4110 with locos of this class forming the mainstay of this lines local services back in the day 👍
Hey Sam, you forgot the to mention the branch line that ran from Churston down to Brixham.
Also the station across the river at Dartmouth, a station that never had a train in it. Brunel had the station built before having a bridge built, unfortunately the Admiralty wouldn't allow a bridge because it wouldn't have the height above the river for the sailing ships.
Platform 1
Thanks a lot for sharing this Robert - duly noted! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Never personally saw an operational steam locomotive myself, sadly. Where I live they bring those out on really rare occasion.
Beautiful place I would love to visit sometime but for now all I have is the Strasburg Railroad
Will you be at the reopening of the Dartmoor Line in November Sam? You could be our roving reporter, or if you give it rave reviews you could be our raving reporter. 😀
My ears pricked up when you mentioned Kingswear? 'I wonder Sam is going to show us Kingswear Castle?' Well blow me down, you did just that. I knew a chappie who volunteered on her when she was in the Medway, so I knew she was a real steamship and was propelled by the paddles. There was a fierce rivalry between Kingswear Castle volunteers and the P.S. Waverly volunteers as I recall.
Yay finally! The Dartmouth video! Day Out with Sam'sTrains. :D
Yep! Time for another day out! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I love when you do videos like this
Lovely heritage line, had the pleasure 5 times whilst staying in kingswear.
First ever boat history on the channel?!
haha I think so yeah! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks for the video Sam you really are the best 👌❤
Bless you Thomas - thanks so much! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains you're welcome sam you always cheer me up when you show a new video
Bluebell next Sam?. If you had been there last week you could have seen Hornby,s Clan Line. I did check for you and yes it’s got a metal running plate and chassis, not plastic. The cab looks pretty convincing with separately fitted parts and metal whistles. Didn’t have nem couplings though. The finish was really good. As good as Bachman, and real metal hand rails with sprung buffers. Seriously Sam really enjoyed the outside broadcast. Brilliant. All the best Mick.
Nice video, hope you will do some more of this kind :)
Yay! I can comment again. I'll bet you enjoyed yourself. Nothing beats riding behind a real steam engine. I wish you hadn't done the timelapse on the way back, because I caught a split second glimpse of what looked like Lydham Manor in one of the sidings. I wanted a better look at her, perhaps with you zooming in on her. I'll let you off this one time.🙃😉 Plus, the kneeling down shot of Goliath was very nice. You caught her at a nice new angle. There's nothing truly terrifying about it. Most photographers get that sort of angle for main line video shoots.
I went to Durand, Michigan last weekend and went to Durand Union station, I watched trains run on their layout, and I caught a freight train, I had a fun time, also you should 3D print some American steam and diesel locomotives
Just want to let you know the Canadian Pacific loco you mention is a USATC S160, but the livery it carries at the moment is very similar to the CPRR. Not actually owned by the railway either, its owned by Peter Best, and if I remember correctly all his locos are painted in the same shade of red
Goliath is a neat looking engine,GWR prairies are great
She sure is - they are indeed! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Glad you have fun sam
These are so relaxing
I went on that railway last week.
The PS Kingswear Castle is the last operational coal fired paddle steamer in the UK
I have happy memories of line. Many a happy holiday in South Devon. Did you go to the model shop in Paignton?
Great railway, been many times while on holiday that way
Absolutely great - been many times myself! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Awesome video today Sam beautiful place where you went
I grew up in torquay, thesedays thats the only nice part left! I've delivered the coal a few times to them too.
Great westerns are so gorgeous! Can I ask, as I’m not sure, what brand would you recommend for lubricant for model trains? Just bought a 8 year old EWS class 37 but I think a service would be useful.
Also very nice Sam I love these sorts of videos
Good video, should do this type of thing more often.
Been on the steamies great day out
Goliath is so amazing!! Plus the 2-8-0T Is very common
Have you seen the 72xx 2-8-2 tank engines gwr had
Yeah it sure is amazing - and this was the first 2-8-0T I've ever seen! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I live in Paignton, hopefully you had a look in Paignton model shop. Would of loved to bump into you!
Haven’t seen the whole video yet but I’m sure it will be good.
Cheers Dan :)
That's awesome Dan- lucky you to live so close to this! I didn't go in this time, but I have in the past... my Hornby white Pullman pack came from there! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
SAM
that's that scary i do know some one that out a gopro on the sleepers and the train hit it!!!
Oh the gopro still worked after the train hit it! it was a great shot!!!
Hello, I have a question for you:
First of all, what was the other train that was running
and also teh time i went to dartmouth, it was omaha and 5526 running.
The guard on 5526 made sure the train left 4mins early just so we couldnt get on.
It was a great video of a lovely line, Sam, although I’m inclined to ask whether or not Goliath features a metal running board. Plastic would never suit such a beautiful machine, the GWR is my favourite model producer, they’d better be packing them with features
Thank you so much - I didn't check actually that's a good point... I didn't notice any warping, so I guess it's not plastic!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains it’s for the best, we can’t allow manufacturers to become sloppy, now can we?
What a steam engine
Cheers- Jasper the E2 Fox
