Taff Vale no. 85 joins the rest of Keighley & Worth Valley railway home fleet for this years winter gala along side S160 Big Jim, 4F 43924, the Coal Tank and Nunlow.
As usual a great video, its great to see the 4F in steam my grandfather worked for the LMS as a driver and although based out of Chesterfield he had huge admiration for the 4f's amongst other Fowler and Stanier class loco's. Thanks again for sharing.
Excellent. Been a few years since i visited. My favorite line, first visited very soon after opening with family,about the same time i started spotting! 1969 or70. Been a driver on the railway(br) nearly 40yrs so i,m blaming you lot on the KWVR! He He ,Cheers
I loved your use of smoke rising above the trees etc. to create anticipation. It was a good day for smoke. The final shot of Coal Tank and Taff Vale looked great. I did wonder about the initial slip from 43924 at Oakworth. It didn't seem necessary. I have noticed that, on wet days, starting there can be a challenge.
Great video. I always enjoy the KWVR shots that you manage to come up with. And it's good to see Lucky taking to show business. Looking forward to the follow up video.
Hi great video as always. Watched your entries for a few years now but only recently found out how to add comments. I have relatives that live in Howarth and you have brought back some wonderful memories. I see you have a new dog is Penny o.k. Regards Bob
On the Saturday, I was at Oakworth waiting for the next train and it was the coal tank and taffvale tank, it looked very impressive till I realised it didn't stop.
as always great video. worth is definatly one of the best. shame the trouble they had with guest locos. personally its shame about this restriction on the road bridge as it means 1054 is not coming to the bluebell anymore.
It has to be said, with the bridge restriction it was not the best gala I've ever seen, I did go as a punter but very quickly when back to what I normally do.
Webb Coal Tank yet again adding a perfect touch of class to the vintage train formation. Great video.
Excellent production - thanks.
Well done! Some classic shots of British steam there!

Thank you for you kind comments, hopefully we will find a way out in the next few months.
Thank you for posting. A question about the last two engines, how is the power sent to the drive wheels?
Inside pistons, outside Pistons were a later development.
Thanks I haven't seen any this here in States
That dog kinda looks like my dog.
lovely looking steam crane. Is that a new loop/lead coming out of Haworth shed past the closed signalbox?
+iantrack It's the old loop which used to allow direct access to Oxenhope but has been taken out of use now for some reason.
+AndreiTupolev thanks andrei
Yes, the loops always been there but as I am writing this the trap point at the top is not in position.
It has to be said, with the bridge restriction it was not the best gala I've ever seen, I did go as a punter but very quickly when back to what I normally do.

I can't wait to get the L&Y set back In action, I have seen them every week when I volunteer to C&W.
