    Anyone else heading down to Kent for this? All locos except Winston Churchill running, and lots of non-stop trains, multiple-headed trains and the famous parallel parade! :happy:

    Didn't know it was on - might wander down to the marsh if the weather is OK

    Nice vid - managed to get down to the marsh for an hour - saw 6 trains in that hour including a double header. The trains all looked a bit sparsely populated - clearly the weather didn't help

    They might have had more people if they'd advertised it on their Website earlier than two weeks beforehand, or indeed bothered to reply to my email in August on the subject.

    I managed to get down both days, although the declining weather Sunday afternoon forced me to leave earlier than planned, i had a very enjoyable weekend. Highlights for me were the Quadruple header that i got absolutly soaked on and the Parrallel run on Sunday morning, last year's parrallel run was pretty epic when Black Prince roared past Typhoon at full regulator and as near to full forward gear as possible. This year's Parrallel run featured Hurricane and Black Prince on one train and Typhoon and Southern Maid on the other, there is nothing that can beat it in my opinion! Roll on the next Gala!

    So far i have only managed to get Saturday's footage online, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g06FMi_DNA0
