My one visit of the year to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway and it would be to their Autumn Steam Gala. Although not necessarily one of the biggest events of the year (having to compete with the Great Centrals Eastern Gala on the same weekend) it still boasted two guest locos to compliment the six locos of the home fleet, all of which ran at various points during the day. The full loco line up:-
Guest Locos:-
| BR Standard 5MT 'Caprotti 5' No 73129 (from the Midland Railway Centre)
| Haydock Foundry Well Tank 'Bellerophon' (from its current base at the Foxfield Railway, but owned by the Vintage Carriages Trust at Ingrow)
Home Fleet:-
| BR Standard 4MT No 80002
| BR(M) Ivatt 2MT No 41241
| LMS 3F No 47279
| L&Y 'Ironclad' No 957
| WD 2-8-0 No 90733
| Hudswell Clarke No 1704 'Nunlow'
Highlights include 957 & 47279 arriving at Oakworth, 47279 & 41241 passing Ingrow yard with the Goods, and 80002 on an express service through Ingrow.
Very good video, you've also made good use of the extra 5 minutes that nice Mr YouTube has given us!

Great front window shot of 73129. Looked like they were doing some adjustments in the shed at Oxenhope.

Great Video! I was at Haworth both days working so never got to see much! This helps me to see what else happened!
