Brilliant brilliant video. Beautifully shot, thoughtfully edited, exceptionally high production values. There are some really creatively framed shots , and I love the cut-aways of the beautiful scenery, flora and fauna. It's so refreshing to watch a Diesel Gala video where the camera is held steady, not waved about like a flag, and without the constant zooming in and out (I call it tromboning!!!!). So many UA-cam railway videographers seem to be obsessed with digital effects and out of control graphics, so it's so nice to have watched this video where the content is the star, not the latest whiz-bang button on the editors vision mixer. I hope other videographers watch this and learn how to produce a gala video properly. Thank you for sharing, you really captured the atmosphere of the event, this was a joy to watch.
Thank you very much Zac, your comments are very much appreciated! I always try to be creative, always looking at trying something different to make the video more interesting. The aim is always to keep the content as the main attraction!
JS Rail Videos Brilliant, you really have achieved a great product here. You've set the 'bar' significantly higher for the genre. Honestly, this is so well shot and edited I can not give any higher praise. I really do hope that others watch this and learn something from it, I really cannot praise the production values enough. Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks Neil. It's become commonplace at most Diesel Galas, but with the exception of the 'Load-ex' there was barely any flailing or bellowing, though the Spa Valley have been very strict on that behaviour at recent events.
Nice video of trains at High Rocks and Groombridge but I would like to have seen the locos in action at the two terminals of Tunbridge Wells West and Eridge.
Thank you Brian. I had planned to film at those stations, but I never got round to doing it! Mixture of linesiding and riding at the event. Glad you enjoyed the video!

A great film, however the final scene of the load ex sums up exactly why I refuse to go to events like this.

Brilliant stuff mate. Thoroughly enjoyed. That 3CIG running "on its own" looks so good!
Thanks Louis. It was brilliant to see the 'Push-Pull' in action. I grew up with Slam Door trains so it did bring back a few memories!
