Featuring five steam locomotives, and three diesels. The steam contingent includes two visiting 8Fs - The 'Turkish' 45160(48274) and 48624 in fictional, but nonetheless impressive, LMS crimson. The video includes both TPO mail drops, passenger and freight workings, and the GWR autocoach.

  • Really enjoyable film, liked the shot of the 20 at the end. Cheers.

  • @MEKAYJIMMYNATHE Thanks for watching and commenting. Im Pleased that you liked it. The shot of the 20 at the end was a clip I wasnt going to bother with, but that was the loco that began my journey home from the event, so I included it just to finish the video in my minds eye. It would be fantastic to catch a steam crossover from that vantage point. Thanks again.

  • Impressive gala!!! I wonder that there is only one filmer. In Germany, this kind of event is usally overcrowded!

  • @LZFILM Thanks for watching and commenting... I tried my best to avoid catching other filmers/photographers in my shots, there were quite a few of them - its always good to see a well supported event like this... but there were fewer people than I expected (it was forecast for worse weather than the next day which was the second day of the event, plus there were a couple of major sporting fixtures on this first day! Maybe they were factors).

  • The peak is desperate for a repaint!

  • @EastMidlandsSteam ....And the 20!

  • Was it me or did the Turkish 8F's front pony wheels look like they weren't going round? Did they manage to get them fixed?

  • Cool seeing the Royal Mail apparatus in action!

  • Look at 4:00 :L

  • 1:38

    All the steam locos have got that 31 confused. :(

  • Another great GCR Gala very well captured. Excellent film.
