Wow!! So lovely to see the Bluebell's early years!
This is really good! But I never would have believed Bluebell and Primrose to be in that black and white lined livery... I don't like it personally...
@therailwayinspector3 After the Bluebell reaches East Grinstead and takes stock, you can expect them to start on the Ardingly branch and electric traction will be a strong contender for the branch. The Bluebell own a 4VEP unit and the SEG have a 4COR unit ( part of which is on display at HK) and of course the Bluebell has its Mets which have been both steam and electric during their life with the Met.
Thanks for posting this video,it brings back memories of the Bluebell as I remember it in those first years; glad to see it still operating and very successful.
Hard to find footage of the Adams tank in action. Neat film.

It's a shame that 3 of the Locos in this video are not in operation at the moment.
The Adams Radial Tank, Primrose and Bluebell.
