This is fantastic! The locos all look immaculate. Hats off to everybody involved in restoring the East Lancs. Thanks!

Thanks Hugh. Yes credit to them all

Lovely video. I've only visited the East Lancs once about 20 years ago but I loved the city centre feel of Bolton Street and your film perfectly captured that early to mid 60s feel with the coaches all in different liveries the only giveaway is the cleanliness of the locomotives. I love that gantry at Bolton Street. I moved to France 7 years ago and I do miss being able to find steam at the drop of a hat, they don't have heritage railways here like they do in the U.K. Most standard gauge steam is on the main line and usually a long way away and what heritage railways there are, are narrow gauge and don't operate a regular timetable but tend to open for groups and on odd weekends the exception being the Baie de la Somme at Le Croutoy. I love watching these films you guys post keep them coming.

6412 is a member of my local railway. Often seen pulling the auto trains, lovely to see she got to really stretch her pistons here

great to see the Lanky back in action!! one of my favourite loco's! from the sounds of excited children they certainly enjoyed the Gala.

I think they were having a visit to the museum, and came out to see a few trains. As you say they were enjoying themselves.

So glad I live in a town with this great tradition

Great to see all these immaculate locos look like they’ve just come out of the workshop. Nice to see a Pannier in the north lands too. Thank you.

crikey. 54325, how old is that. brings back memories that does. of course all the steam brings back chidhood memories. I wish I could still go and stand with you Phill but my legs don't want to.

Thanks Keith, yes great pleasure and a pleasure to share it. Sorry to hear about your legs. My way of thinking recently, is becoming more and more...enjoy it while I can? Life was certainly alot different when 52345 was built in 1896?

What a great selection of locos , 52322 and 52345 looked gorgeous , good vantage points , thoroughly enjoyable video .

What have they done here? The A class normally 52322 has gone to 52345 and the 0-6-0 normally 2890 has been badly transformed into 52322. Why?

@AndreiTupolev

Yes, why do they do that? It's thoroughly misleading, and whatever reason they give "it was the number of an engine that was based at Bury in 1952" or whatever is surely so obscure that very very few people would realise it or appreciate their efforts
