Kilmersdon helps the Helston Railway run a great 'Back to the 40s' event from Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust on Vimeo.
Here's the video of our Peckett 'Kilmersdon' hauling the first steam passenger trains on the Helston branch in over 55 years.
Starting from Prospidnick Halt and calling at Trevarno, the video includes footage from the footplate. Later, we see the superbly authentic recreation of Truthall Halt and in the quietness of this remote country location we soon hear the distant panting of a steam engine as it hauls its coach up the grade….
Thanks are due to the footplate crew of Callum and Ernie.
