For you who have visited Colin's site - 'The Exxter and Teign Valley Railway' at Christow this very high speed tour of Colins fascinating exhibition will bring back memories. If you have yet to visit - it's very worth while.
Click below for this amazing tour.

Don't be impatient - the high speed buzz around the site is followed (after the adverts) by a detailed 'Then and Now' look around the Christow site - well worth watching. 

Many thanks indeed Colin.
