West Somerset Railway Autumn Steam Gala 2008 - Sunday 5th October 2008

The Autumn Steam Gala 2008 had something special because it had the return of 34046 'Braunton' who was host of the gala and today was the last day.

We start off with 34046 and 34007 at leigh croft with a train bound for Bishops Lydeard however with all the steam you can't see 34007 and also you won't see much off her cause the place was overgrown so i could not go to my normal place.

Then we see 5553 Drifting down the hill with a train for Minehead at Leigh Bridge and we then go to leigh woods level crossing where 3850 appears from behind the trees with a train to Bishops Lydeard and we then see 69621 with a train to minehead at leigh wood level crossing.

Finally turn up the volume for this one!
we see S160 '5197' powering up the hill at Roebuck gate with a train to Bishops Lydeard.

Engines in the video are -
SR 4-6-2 no 34046 Braunton
SR 4-6-2 no 34007 Wadebridge
GWR 2-6-2T no 5553
GWR 2-8-0 no 3850
LNER N7 0-6-2T no 69621
S160 2-8-0 no 5197

Enjoy!

another great video 5*****

[jakeyboygen]

thank you

[Jonny7trainspotting]

I enjoyed your video very much..I was impressed by the way you used a little time to pan in on roadside objects such as signs and lights, those little things that belong to railway lovers which are almost as important as the locomotives themselves..lose those and we lose the history..keep your videos coming

[jakeyboygen]

Thank you very much for your kind words and also thank you for the mention on the roadside objects i try my best to fit them in.

[GreatWestern175]
