Ivatt Gala - 41312 / 41313 / 46447 - East Somerset Railway - 16/09/2017

Saturday 17th September 2017 saw the East Somerset Railway host their special one day only "Ivatt Gala", featuring no less than three Ivatt 2MT's in action.
The event saw fleshly restored Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T, No.41313 reunited with sister locomotive No.41312, visiting from the Mid Hants Railway. The engines had previously meet whilst shedded at Barnstaple Junction in the early 1960's, then once again at Brighton in 1963 and finally in Barry Scrap Yard.
As well as 41312 & 41313, Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0, No. 46447 was also in action, taking turns hauling passenger services, as well as driver for a tenner, along with 41313.
Filmed over the course of the day, we see all three locomotives in action, from various locations along the route, including a number of double header services.
