Lovely video Mike, absolutely perfect conditions too. They seemed to have a good selection of locos for this gala.

Thanks Austin. We were very lucky with the weather and the scenery around the line speaks for itself. Enjoyed 2807 and 45212's performances in particular.

Thanks Bob. We were very lucky with the weather. It was good to see 43924, I believe she last ran in the 1980s. I am also a great fan of 2807.

Good job. It's nice to see the cows in the UK are still outstanding in their fields.
