Paignton & Dartmouth Railway. 4-6-0 7827 "Lydham Manor" was built in 1950 by British Railways to a 1938 GWR design of C.B. Collett. The Railway was originally called The Torbay Steam Railway and was part of the Dart Valley Railway association. In June 1973 7827 is seen heading an up train from Kingswear to Paignton.

7827b_mt.jpg (72655 bytes)

Paignton & Dartmouth Railway. 4-6-0 7827 "Lydham Manor" in June 1973 runs around its train at Kingswear Station on a damp Sunday morning. An interesting fact that I noted at the time: the tender carried a 1913 builders plate, while the locomotive was built in 1950. So, two world wars separated the construction of locomotive and tender.

Staite_Pullman_Aller_Junction_6025_+_7802_28_2_05.jpg (158544 bytes)

Leaving the Teign estuary the Staite Pullman passed through Newton Abbot where it took the line back to the coast at Paignton. Here, the two 4-6-0s are picking up speed, headin west after the slowing for Aller Junction

Staite_Pullman_Bishopsteignton_6024_+_7802_28_2_05.jpg (147761 bytes)

After taking water the King and Manor took the coastal route past Dawlish and Teignmouth, then turned west to run alongside the estuary of the River Teign. This is a fast stretch of track and both locomotives are seen working at their maximum permitted speed as they passed Bishopsteignton, in just about the only sunny few moments of the day.

Staite_Pullman_Wellington_6024_+_7802_28_2_05.jpg (144286 bytes)

On 28 February 2005 a special train was organised to mark the retirement of Bernard Staite, the long-serving Chairman of Britain’s Steam Locomotive Owners Association. Regrettably Mr Staite is suffering from cancer so the proceeds of the trip were to be devoted to cancer research funds. The train comprised the Orient Express Pullman coaches and was hauled from London, Paddington to Taunton and return, by a preserved “Western” Class diesel-hydraulic. Between Taunton and Paignton and return, taking in the beautiful coastal railway line, the Pullmans were pulled by ex-Great Western Railway 4-6-0s, 6024, King Edward I and 7802, Bradley Manor. Here the pair is seen working hard at the foot of Wellington Bank, facing 5kms of steadily increasing gradients to the summit at Whiteball Tunnel.
