Another one of the WSR's innovative Galas was held between Thursday 27th to Sunday 30th March 2014. This year's theme was the Atlantic Coast Express, celebrating The Withered Arm, and concentrated on suitable Southern and Great Western locos for the event. This video includes highlights from Friday 28th March to Sunday 30th March 2014. I have included clips of every loco that ran apart from 34070 'Manston' which unfortunately was withdrawn on the Friday morning.
A big thank you to all the staff and volunteers of the WSR, for putting on such a wonderful show.
Locos featured are :
SR 'West Country' Class 34007 'Wadebridge'
SR 'U Class' 31806
GWR 43xx Class 5322
GWR 'Large Prairie' 2-6-2T 4160
GWR 78xx Class 7828 'Odney Manor'
GWR 6959 Class 6960 'Raveningham Hall'
GWR 2884 Class 2-8-0 3850
Somerset & Dorset '7F' 2-8-0 88.
There was heavy rain on Friday, it was cloudy but dry on Saturday, and Blue skies and sunshine on Sunday.
It was great to meet up with Austin (acw71000) & Pam his wife, and also Steve Lewis aka (STEVEHARLEY1956) who is seen at 06:20
Most footage was taken without a tripod, and as I don't have a line side pass, the locations are limited, however, I do hope you enjoy the results of my work.
