Excellent coverage of what looked to be an exceptional gala Austin. Well done. Regards, Dave.

[@acw71000]

Many thanks Dave, yes the railway have had a few problems lately but it was an excellent gala

[@keithdickinson358]

It's a while since I watched one of your videos Austin. I remember them as being of the highest quality. This is no exception.🙂

[@acw71000]

Welcome back Keith! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[@nige7577]

Excellent coverage Austin and with a good variety of loco’s, looks like the weather certainly improved for your visit, cheers 👍

[@acw71000]

Many thanks Nige, good gala and decent weather over the weekend after the torrential rain on Thursday

Glad to see the glitching issue was sorted. Good to see the Southern and Western locos putting on a good showing. The Hall and Eddystone certainly didn't need any banking assistance!

[@acw71000]

The glitch was so annoying, it was down to the program I use to reduce the video file size and I usually check the video when it's been uploaded but being rather shattered after a long day I didn't this time. I agree the locos you mention didn't need assistance, I think the railway just wanted to add a bit of interest especially as the 9F was renumbered as a former Lickey Banker. Many thanks for watching

The Schools Class was one of the most difficult design challenges that any CME has faced… and the result is an absolute triumph. BTW they are fitted with very light fire hole doors which can be opened with just one finger… a blessing to any exhausted fireman.

[@acw71000]

That's amazing about the fire hole doors. I think Maunsell designed some fine locos but tends to be overlooked a little because of Mr.Bulleid. I do know that I just love the three cylinder beat of the Schools

4:47 Seeing all the old bald heads sticking out the carriage windows made me laugh... if I was there, I'd be adding another to the tally of bald heads... LoL.

Not a lot to beat standing by an open window, bald or not😂
