A neon-covered train has brought Christmas cheer to hundreds of spectators by lighting up a valley like a rainbow.<br /><br />The stunning footage shows the Dartmouth Train of Lights as it trundled through Oyster Cove near Paignton, Devon, earlier this week.<br /><br />Photographer and Paignton local Scott Williams, 49, snaps the event every year and is usually accompanied by his four-year-old daughter Kerkyra.<br /><br />The Train of Lights journey starts at Queen's Park Station in Paignton and features vintage carriages decorated with thousands of lights, both inside and out.<br /><br />Scott said: "Just wow! The train of lights is magical and beautiful! I particularly like the location of this video as the lights reflect off the embankment on either side. <br /><br />"The Train of Lights has been running since 2018 on the Paignton to Dartmouth Steam railway. <br /><br />"I have always loved it! This year I believe they also have Santa on board and the journey is set to a story so timings are really important. <br /><br />"The steam railway runs along the South Devon coastline and countryside capturing some stunning views. <br /><br />"This video captured their first trial run with the first passenger train beginning on Friday 24th November. <br /><br />"Many local people now associate the start of the festive period with seeing the train of lights, almost as much as seeing the Coca-Cola advert on TV! <br /><br />"People travel far and wide to come and see the train of lights, I am even doing a guided tour for some people who are visiting from America."<br /><br />The journey takes in the 450-metre Greenway tunnel that "leads you to the enchanted forest which will be transformed by a multitude of lights".<br /><br />The stunning show ends as you leave the forest to be greeted by the twinkling lights of Dartmouth reflected on the river Dart.
