Goodford Model Railway MK3 - 19. Running Session 11

Most of the rolling stock I have collected is centered around what may be seen on the GWR line in South Devon, specifically Dawlish. Whilst Goodford is a fictitious location I thought it would be nice to have a running session with just this stock. There is a couple of twists and unlikely trains to appear however with a little poetic license, most I believe would be seen around the Dawlish area in the year 2020.

I realise this is a very long running session and so have put a running list below in case there's anything you want to skip to:

For anyone new to the channel, Goodford is 2 layouts in 1 with 1 side being a station and TMD and the other being countryside with a small branch line junction. It is located in a room measuring around 19" x 12" and is DCC operated using the Roco Z21 system. All locos are DCC sound fitted with either ESU Loksound V5 or Zimo decoders.

Happy to answer and questions or comments you may have and I do hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
