ELR Autumn Steam Gala

Thanks Matt, in that case I will be quite happy to see 32 stick to the Rammy shuttles, certainly don't want any damage caused.

Wonder what the Janaury & February galas have in store.......

Cheers

 

A very enjoyable day out on Saturday, thanks to all concerned.

Footage here from Saturday. Thought the use of smaller locos went well, so thanks to all at the East Lancs.

Pretty cruddy weather on Sunday. I braved the rain for a couple of hours.

Here are my shots:

The East Lancashire Railway in October - 31 October 2009

The dearth of ex-BR tender engines on the ELR through the summer began to be rectified in early October with the arrival of John Cameron's K4 2-6-0 No 61994 The Great Marquess. She was later joined by Ian Riley's Class 5 4-6-0 No 45407, which had also had a spell north of the border. Nevertheless, it took a contingent of industrial locos to make up a decent fleet of locos for the gala at the end of the month.

Nice video, 15 was certainly bucketing about on your last clip, must have done the track a bit of an injury.

It ALWAYS takes a contingent of industrials to make up a decent fleet of locos. A contingent of industrials is a decent fleet of locos.

 

Excellent David, really enjoyed that.

 

Great video Peter - pity I missed the event by having to work all weekend
What was that that run across in front of 61994 @ about 3.30 secs into the video?
