A hint of Great Western | Bluebell Railway 'Branch Line Weekend' | 19th May 2018

Spring is turning into summer, and with the trees greening up and the sun making more appearances it was to make the weekend of the Bluebell Railways 'Branch Line Event' rather stunning as the 5 rostered engines set about creating the traditional branch line scene.
An intensive split timetable, similar to last years event, was organised with 4 coaching sets of various sizes running with the home fleet of small engines and guest engine PTR Tank 813 from the Severn Valley Railway.
Double headers and top n tail moves, as well as increased shunt moves made for some never before seen scenes occurring at the various stations and locations. Namely three separate trains in Kingscote at the same time!
As i've mentioned, the weather was favorably sunny as the locomotives went about their duties, and a real branch line feel was certainly in the air which made for rather a special event. Hope you enjoy!

    What would you say would be the best place for thrash, for a train heading towards Sheffield park? Trying to plan somewhere to go for the 47/57 on 23rd, thanks

    Are the trains still running? Today would be a nice day to find a spot and watch them.

    A few people in the comments think that this is a normal branch line. Check out the website. www.bluebell-railway.com

    A nice video but surely the Bluebell Railway is just that i.e. a branch line?

    Wait, is that engine at 6:31 Stepney?

    It's actually "bluebell", which is of a class of tank engine similar to Stepney. Stepney isn't currently running and there aren't plans to run it in the near future.

    Aw, man! Stepney is such an iconic engine, so not seeing him on the rails is rather disappointing.

    @@e-mananimates2274 it is a pity, but think it's in such bad shape on the inside it would take them years to sort it out. So I think it's probably going to spend most of its future on display in the museum at Sheffield park. It's a great pity, but at least people can still enjoy it.
