KWVR Winter Steam Gala February 27 - March 1 2015

That's the kind of comment that is bound to set the rumour mill going. Before you know it, 'Anthony Coulls has meeting at Ingrow' will have become 'BLS to overhaul "Agenoria" for main line service'.

 

Five from yesterday and not a multiple header to be seen!

Footage of the Gala from Friday and Saturday with quite a lot of shots in full sun...

 

I would just like to thank Kieran Pilsworth and all the people involved in this mornings early mini-charter featuring No 75078 + 34092. Two shots taken from 'the mound'

Although the light was short lived it was well worth getting up at 04.30 to make the journey north and the start at Oxenhope to bag these couple of shots.

 

Really? What could they use her for?

 

June 2029 will be the 200th anniversary of Agenoria opening the Shut End Railway. 14 years for the overhaul sounds about right, given recent NRM experience.

 

Nice film Graham hope the dog on the bridge during the Haworth sequence didn't cause too much upset.

Not at all. Such things do happen occasionally and as irritating as it can be I just take it in my stride. There was no question of me not including the shot, given how rare it is for passenger trains to run non stop through Haworth...

 

Hello All,
It was my first ever visit to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway for the second day of their "Winter Steam Gala" on Saturday 28th February 2015.
I was limited on time spent there, but still found time to visit the excellent Exhibition Shed at Oxenhope and also join a Guided Tour, which was led by a very welcoming and informative Raymond, of the Locomotive Shed and Works at Haworth.
I have a collection of 40 photographs taken during my visit, which can be viewed via either of the below links;
