Watercress line Autumn steam gala 2016 part 1

This video is much shorter than planned as the footage from the Sunday of the event was pretty rubbish. It will be uploaded as second part however because it seemed a waste to not use.

Between the 21st and 23rd of October 2016 the Watercress Line held their annual autumn steam gala, this consisted of 6 trains running throughout the day with a special pulled by the class 08 at the end of the day. At 13:40 on each day another special was run called the Pines Express. This consisted of the Standard class 4 and the 9F pulling an 8 coach train which ran non stop through Ropley.

The locos in use were:
46100 LMS Royal Scot 'Royal Scot'
43106 LMS Ivatt Class 4
53809 S&DJR 7F (Failed the day before the gala)
41312 LMS Ivatt Class 2
76017 BR 4MT
45379 LMS Black 5
92212 BR 9F
08377 BR Class 08
33053 BR Class 33 (Replaced Royal Scot for a short period on Saturday afternoon)

Thanks for watching and sorry for the short video from such a good gala.
