Keighley and Worth Valley Winter Gala 120210

The N2, number 1744, from the Great Central was the guest loco and put up a good show on the gradients of this Pennine line, despite several noticeable leaks. Throughout the morning she hauled the vintage Great Northern set and worked the line in tandem with Standard Tank 80002. Later in the day these two were joined by Austerity 2-8-0 90733, Ivatt Tank 41241 and 1704 "Nunlow" an industrial loco of surprising power.
1744 at Keighley, approaching Oakworth, near Ingrow, Oakworth. 80002 at Keighley, Damems; Great North Straight and Oakworth with goods. 90733 at Oakworth and Top Field. 1704 Nunlow at Keighley.

Superb; the departure at about 5.00 is a real classic. I paid twenty quid for a video (DVD) recently that was nowhere near as good as this!

Really beautiful photography, so crisp and vivid! I really love your dedication to the greatest railroad era that ever was.

Thank you for keeping us thrilled with your fantastic ventures into a vanishing history of glory on the rails!

Thank you for your effusive comments. We are very lucky in the UK to have a substantial railway preservation movement which owes much to pipedreams of a few enthusiasts back in the 60s and 70s.
