Kevin McGrath Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Great photos and really interesting dialogue - thanks I'm a new member and just moved into the area of starcross-cockwood-dawlish and can (just) see the track from my upstairs window. Any advice on how to know in advance what times any unusual locos due on the line would be REALLY appreciated - thank you From the string, I have now discovered the delights of the Dawlish webcam, but to know what steam locos are due every weekend would be magic. Thanks Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR(S) Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 The return Torbay Express from the Dawlish webcam, not quite so easy to see from this angle: And this gent obviously knows about the webcam. He spent a lot of time talking to it, while also on the telephone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
