Really cool catching tgat signal dropping 😎 Western Consort sounded great 👍😊

I used a bit of memory card waiting for that LOL My friend paused recording and missed it, always happens doesn't it LOL. Western consort will sound familiar to you. These were class 56 locomotives when built and served us well but in our ever increasing race to lower emissions were retired to rust away in favour of newly built locomotives. It turned out they were not that good and so the old class 56 was given a new EMD 710 engine and modern controls in the cab. A few have been converted and like this one given retro liveries, they seem to be well liked. So this one was hired in for the event

@cedarcam 😎 i thought that sounded like an emd, wasnt sure since youve shown RR engins too in the past

[@cedarcam]

@@ccrx6700 Yes we have a few EMD engines now. This and the class 57 sound very like yours, both conversions from old locomotives.

Some great clips there Colin. The 50's looked great side by side at Damens loop. Great to see the shunters working! the dog at Damens seemed to be enjoying it too.

Thank you Phil. We were pleased to see the 50's passing in the loop Axl could not zoom in as close but spotted them before me. I was pleased I got the token exchange which I only saw when editing. The dog was really enjoying shouting at every train LOL In a friendly way, he was on Friday as well. Spot class 14 No 45 it changed into a 72 in Ingrow seen later in Keighley and Rodney changed into Dave.

A varied amount of loco's there Colin looks like it the gala went down a storm. I did like the 37 in EWS livery is that loco based at the Wensleydale Railway. You may like to take a look at a young lady by name of Matilda River Waldon. She has done a really good video at Arcow Quarry engaging with the Drivers. What a a talent for someone so young.

It was very busy both days I was there, Friday and Saturday, which was good to see with costs going crazy these days and some lines struggling to keep open. The 37 is from Wensleydale yes and was seen in the shed on my video of the model weekend in faded Dutch livery. I watched Matilda's video today and commented on how good it was. She is a talented young lady check out some more of her channel, not only trains but makes videos on several topics
