Brill Video! I went to the Steam Railway gala on Saturday and had a fabulous time. The line-up of four Main Line Locomotives (Tornado to be running railtours soon) was wonderful! I wish i'd had the weekend there in our Tourer caravan which is a massive 5th wheel but couldn't due to commitments. I will be surprised if this event happens again on a Preserved line! Do you know If 5690 Leander is still there?
You have to be a friend of the Railway, so it's £20 for membership and £25 for the pass. You get a good quality quarterly mag and there are discounts for travel. The non-lineside locations are a bit restricted, so a pass is a must for a serious cameraman! They also run through the winter, so that is a consideration plus 3 good Galas a year and extra events where the opportunity arises.
Yet another brilliant video..I enjoyed every minute of it thanks..there were enough people crowding the platform at the very beginning weren't there? he he he
this is very good thank you for Pu-ting this on 5stars

Looking back at this, I'm reminded how good Tornado looked in grey. Would have been cool to see her on the main line like that, i think.

Yes, she didn't look bad in that livery. Was it Silver Link that appeared in a similar livery?

Very very nice video record of these locomotives. Well framed, good perspective and favourable light, and of course, a steady hand, well done.

Thank you. Unfortunately the hand doesn't get any steadier as I get older!

No probs Mike, credit due, credit given.
Your steamontheweb footage is probably the best collection of record steam video work in one place, and a credit to you.
It takes commitment and determination to cover a subject to the level you have done.
Keep up the good work!
Perhaps think about a bedtime tipple to keep that hand steady....only one though!

Thank you for your kind words. The bed-time tipple is already in hand so to speak!

I second that; excellent Gala.
Yes, it looks as if Leander will be at the GCR for another month.

The most popular event I can remember at the GCR. Parking spaces very hard to come by.
