KWVR Steam Gala March 11th 12th & 13th.

Got a free Swedish Chef with the WD??

 

Well, whatever the case, have fun guys, I was planning to attend but family (once again) have stopped me from going but it did look an absolute corker!

 

Video from one of the pre gala photo charters featuring 7714

 

Great video with excellent shots - and really good editing: each clip is a a nice length rather than having 2 - 3 minutes of nothing before the train flashes past in 5 or 6 seconds like many videos on YouTube!

 

Yep. Remember it well. A certain tall lugubrious fireman had just passed his chef’s exam iirc ….. Outlandish footplate garb was not unusual back then, I can also recall Arab headdress amongst the more repeatable outfits.

Great pictures. Was there myself today but I don’t really bother with my own pictures as they’re never as good as other peoples! Good turnout-the only trains I got to sit down in were the shuttles!

Some of my photos from today, hope you enjoy

 

Saturday.

 

How is access to the Mytholmes viaduct shot these days? It's been many years since I've done that position.

My video from yesterday's trip to the KWVR

 

Nothing has changed from when I last went a few years ago. From the old lane that goes over the tunnel. Although there has been clearing around the tunnel mouth.

 

My pics from Saturdays K.V.W.R. steam gala at 1 of my local heritage lines, I much enjoyed it riding the Lanky and Yorky C,25 52044 now in its new B.R. livery double heading with Taffy tanky 85 0.6.2. (also nice to see 85 back in service again) and also managing to squeeze the double header in from Oakworth to Oxenhope with the jube 45596 Bahamas and 46100 Royal scot and also getting the non stop express with the visiting 7714 pannier tanky, I hope all visiting Enthusiasts got their loco,s or tanky engines they wanted to ride behind or photograph and enjoyed their steam gala W,end in the Worth valley.
