excellent line up for this gala, and a great video production at your usual high standard; thanks for posting your efforts!

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

It certainly was a Gala I couldn't miss. Thanks very much for your kind words, they are very much appreciated!

Excellent video & filming mate 👍😉 I was going to attending the event, but I decided to visit the railway on their normal timetable and to see the visiting LNER B1 in action during next Saturday.

Spectacular video. Wish I was there to meet the locomotives especially King Edward 2 but the problem was it was too far where I live However at east Lancashire railway there’s a 1940s weekend going on what’s not far from me so I been there twice and I enjoyed it. Probably heading back tomorrow

They've already taken 419 back to Bo'ness once to try to get it sorted. The "northern" theme seemed a little tenuous, with five of the seven engines coming from Swindon and one from Eastleigh, a Big Engine gala would have been a better term.

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

While I agree that the theme was very much 'hanging by a thread', I feel it still works on the grounds of the home-fleet locos vs visiting locos. Given 2 of the 3 visitors were of Nothern descent, and therefore very much away from home (unlike the influx of home-fleet GWR locos), I feel it still represents the visiting locos quite well. Though I do see your point.

@@TheSouthernerYTChannel as being a volunteer at the gwsr, the theme was a tad off but we would have had a third northern guest if didcot didn't want to have the hall for the summer and swap for the king. Plus we couldn't do anything about 419's problem, as it was too late and we weren't told about the fault till after it broke, so we had no time to sort it. Sorry. But the gala was a good success and was a fabulous event anyways.

Too many shots of locomotives in reverse Get a couple of turntables please.

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

If only it were that simple...

[@AndreiTupolev]

there's no heritage line that has the luxury of two turntables, and besides, it's making a good sound that's the most important thing
