the sight of a Black 5 as part of a double header with a tiny little SECR P class is simply adorable!

Liked seeing the Webb Coal tank in action.

Great series of videos. Perhaps if it ever snows when you are out, it would allow you to get some great scenes of the countryside.

Nice to see the little P class 323 formerly of the SER I believe

Nice to see Captain Baxter in some main line action. Some beautiful matching loco & stock formations; the Coal Tank on the four-wheelers and the LNW observation car, Camelot on the carmine & creams.

Awesome filming mate : ) I was also there last Saturday and it was by far the railway best ever branch line gala there put on.

Seems it rains all the time in Britain, how do you get so much sunshine in your videos Good work

Thanks for the video. Off down to the Bluebell in a couple of weeks with an old pal from work. Looking forward to it.

Another great film from you

Thanks for a great video.

6:39 An old and small locomotive and a newer and larger locomotive together. It looks funny. Both are beautiful.

Cool video!

keep up the good work

great video. some interesting combos during the day. the LNWR coal tank looked great with the vintage carriages. I heard the C had to bail out early due to failure. and a shame the O1 didnt make it in time

The coal tank was great! Yea the C had safety valve gasket problems and the O1s boiled wasn't quite ready sadly...

Looks like a fab event. Shame i missed it. Camelot oddly suits a branch line consist.

MI Rail shame the Q failed as that would've been slightly more appropriate!

6:37, how cute! The big locomotive couldn't pull the train by itself, so the smaller one had to come and help it.

73082 could pull that train by itself, although the Q class which was supposed to double head with Bluebell failed so Camelot substituted for it.

thomas and friends are complety inspired by those trains and ambient

Bluebell and Camelot, Theres a size comparison for you.

the stander five in the thumbnail and bluebell had to help it

How much money for a ticket

The 'USA Tank' - an American built, wartime 0-6-0 tank engine ex- Southampton docks, I think. Hasn't steamed in years, but I remember it from when my kids were small.

I'm not the expert, but yes, they were used all over, in the aftermath of WWII, like the USRA S160's? I think there is more than one in preservation in the UK and maybe even one in steam now, but I'm not at all sure.

Roger Whittle One of those locomotives is in a spur in Egypt, but I don't know if is the same model, or if that locomotive stil existing or have been preserved. It isn't operstional.

Google is your friend, especially if you know a bit about what you are looking for. Four (plus 2) of the USA S100 class tanks are in preservation, one of them still in steam. There you go: 30064 Bluebell Railway - (Awaiting major overhaul) 30065 Kent and East Sussex Railway - (Awaiting major overhaul) 30070 Kent and East Sussex Railway - (Operational) 30072 Ribble Steam Railway - (Undergoing major boiler repairs) The plus two are Yugoslavian built variants of the S100 class, converted to British USA standard and are on the Shillingstone Railway Project.

And to top of the weirdness, because the Bluebell Railway think they're SO funny, they put an A4 whistle on Bluebell to scare the sh*t out of people in the fields. And it seems to have worked, because it's actually pretty funny.

The reason as to why 73082 ran was because 30541 failed the night previously.

Again disgustingly no publicity, no mention of 1054 visiting down south and I have waited years to see this NWR Coal tank and when it comes, it is kept quiet, So to make up for the inconvenience it needs to return down here in the nest few years. and advertised. Very annoyed and upset at the worsening lack of publicity in our Useless UK.

It has been reported a few times on both Bluebell website and Facebook also it said in magazines as well.

"disgustingly"? "Very annoyed and upset"? "Useless UK"? It's a steam locomotive, not a cure for cancer. Get a sense of proportion, man. And if you don't like it in the UK, you are free to leave.
