- The Bluebell Railway put on a steam powered event, with road vehicles supplementing the steam railway. The use of steam powered transport drove the industrial revolution and all manner of different commercial applications were on show and in action over the weekend. including steam powered deliveries to and from the station.
Opening sequence. Class 09 0-6-0 diesel shunter prepares the demonstration goods train.
Class S15 4-6-0 Express Goods and mixed traffic engine runs in to Horsted Keynes and departs noisily for East Grinsted and seen en route powering up to Sharpthorne tunnel.
Q class 0-6-0 goods engine 30541, comes under Leamland Bridge, saluted by a traction engine, pulls uphill past Black Hut and is seen drifting down back through Sharpthorne tunnel with the goods train.
Standard Class 5 4-6-0 73082 'Camelot' eases through the temporary speed restriction at Horsted Place and pulls away up the curve to the tunnel and onto East Grinstead
Onto the Road vehicles, Traction Engines, driving saw benches, road making machinery and hauling heavy loads. Steam Rollers - in use right up until the 1970s in some areas - demonstrate their power and weight in skilful hands. The bulk of the ploughing engine with the underslung winch stands next to the huge reversible towed plough. Steam delivery lorries and tractors were kept busy delivering coal to the engines
The weather changed and made the field very soft in places and the versatility of the machinery was put to good use winching out stuck machines.
All in all a comprehensive look at how steam power was used in all aspects of transport.
Well done Bluebell Railway.
Really good, well considered photographic locations. Excellent

Missed it, a job to get to, from St Leonards on sea. Looks great on UA-cam. Bluebell's road and railroad event, traction engine working display
I was there as well, a really fun event! I loved seeing the goods train, I didn't actually realize that their 08 had assembled it. Very well filmed! Loved seeing the S15 with those Mk Is.
Did you happen to see the man with the live cat on his shoulder?
Hello. Thank you for your kind comment. Yes a good event - I am not sure I managed to convey the full number of exhibits - the rain curtailed some I think.
Yes I saw the guy with the cat - I saw him at the Wiston Steam fair as well ,if I recall correctly. Nick.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, Nick. Very interesting to see a different take on an event I filmed (Saturday only) and I like the way you dovetailed the different aspects of this multi-faceted event... something I chose to present in more-or-less chronological order. I like the way you have managed to condense a lot into a manageable video time. Also particularly enjoyed your S15 shot at 03:40. Let's hope the road-making demo will help to ease future parking problems! Kind regards, Bob.
Thank you Bob. I'm learning slowly - a lot more is ending up on the cutting room floor these days! I was there all three days - mainly because it was such a fascinating event and I managed to catch the sun for a couple of long thought about shots - 3:40 being one. Nick.
Great video, really enjoyed it. The Q looked good on freight. We are there later in the week, hope Camelot is in steam :)
Thanks Mike. It is rostered for service A all week. Who knows you might even see 80151 - the Standard 4T on test!
Enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing. Chris
