Here's my footage of the Great Central Railway recreating the Somerset and Dorset, 60 years from the closure of the line. The highlight of the day was the last two runs of the day featuring the 9F and 34072 '257 Squadron accelerating sharply away from Rothley to Leicester with the last trains of the day. I hope you enjoy it.

 

Nice shots, you were one lucky boy with the sun, the videographer didn't get any and we were a few miles away ay Statfold and didn't see a drop.

 

Thanks however I didn't go to the S&D day, my shots were from previous galas and visits.
