Llanelli & District Model Engineers Spring Rally 2017 (Part 1) 08/04/2017

It's been a beautiful sunny Spring Day, and I was asked to cover the Spring Steam Rally organised by The Llanelli & District Model Engineers at Pembrey Country Park in Carmarthenshire.
In part one, we see the Railway side of the Rally..ranging for some of the exhibits to the very popular afternoon public runs.
There were some amazing locomotives on display, and once again an excellent job done by event organiser Rob Rayner, and the members of the Club. With exhibitors travelling from all over the UK, a special mention must be made of Ron from the Netherlands, who's the first person ever to have brought a locomotive from abroad to one of the Club's events.

Superb Part 1 of the Spring Rally Bob and as always a great collection of locos on display. The cavalcade at the start was a nice way to kick your series off. Superb viewing. Regards, Jeff.

Hello Bob, I have watched videos from this park from you I am sure.
I recently bought a LG led 43 inch tv the first tv since 2007 I also bought a RoKU box and I can put your wonderful video on it and wow what a different experience doing this. Just outstanding Bob it is like day and night. thanks for your work doing it.

[@robmasterman]

That's wonderful Wayne, and I'm delighted that you are now able to watch my work as it should be...Regards.........Bob

Couldn't have wished for better weather for this event Bob, I liked that little 'cavalcade ' of locos near the start and your pacing shots, were, once again excellent.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Austin, it's always a very enjoyable experience covering these events, and to get some steam up your nostrils albeit in miniature form is very uplifting...Regards...Bob

[@EMuksteam]

Brilliant video Bob. Great camera work. Loved the cavalcade and the parallel shots at the end. Best wishes C&A

[@robmasterman]

Thanks both, it's been a wonderful weekend, lovely weather and lots of friendly people...Regards...Bob

That's an impressive lineup of locos being dragged out of the shed by the Warship! Nice pacing with the Q1 & Mogul.

[@robmasterman]

Missed this comment from you Andrei, some of these locos are simply superb, and work as well as they look....Thanks as always.....Bob

[@dyfansgwr8851]

sun and steam, something we didn't have yesterday at the gwili because of a shortage of crew. probably down there with you lot!

[@robmasterman]

Ha..ha, thanks for watching, it has been another very successful weekend...Bob

Great coverage of this event as always, Bob! Though you'll be aware that I'm an LNER man, I rather like the Woolston's Scot.

[@w0033944]

Hang on a minute - just seen the Britannia - now that IS local to me; they used to pass through around 1 1/2 miles from me on the GEML (albeit long before I was born).

[@robmasterman]

Funny enough Chris, despite the locos coming from all over the UK I don't see many LNER locos at this event....Thanks for your comments...Bob

[@mattseymour8637]

Nice filming! Good to see some smoke for a change rather than no smoke at the stack :)

[@robmasterman]

It's like the real thing Matt, when it's very warm, there's little steam, but when it's colder you get more.

[@bossecarlberg]

Hi Bob Nice video its real train toys and the weather seems as summer. Bosse

[@robmasterman]

Thank you Bosse, it is a wonderful event, and people of all ages enjoy themselves....Best wishes from Wales....Bob
