BR-Liveried No. 4110 Steam Photo Charter — Timeline Events

Timeline Events runs a full-day photo charter on the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway in Devon, featuring GWR 5101 Class 2-6-2T No. 4110 in lined British Railways green livery, hauling four chocolate and cream Mark I coaches. The organizer describes a day of Western Region steam action on a former Western Region branch line.

The charter starts from Paignton station and travel is by train throughout. To make the most of the photographic locations, the organizer says it is likely to turn the locomotive during the day, and that it is negotiating to regain access to some locations not visited for a couple of years, alongside favourite regular vantage points. It notes that the locomotive is returning to the line after a three-year hire to the East Somerset Railway and that it expects the livery to have been fully lined out by the date; illustrations show the locomotive before lining.

The organizer also says that, if bookings go very well, it will consider running an additional day on the Sunday before, but only if enough people book the main day.

A full day of photography from about 07:00 to 17:00, starting at Paignton station and travelling by train throughout. There is a fair amount of walking: the organizer rates the fitness level medium. Bring a high-visibility jacket, sturdy outdoor shoes, warm clothing and wet weather gear, plus spare batteries, lenses, filters and rain covers. All levels of photographic knowledge are welcome.

The charter starts at Queens Park Station, Torbay Road, Paignton, Devon (the organizer says it starts from Paignton station). Tickets are booked on the organizer's website. Visitors with mobility issues are asked to email the organizer to check the limitations of the location before booking. Organizer telephone: 07770 227625.
