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.

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.
