Epping Ongar Railway, Festival of Steam Gala Event 2024 - Sunday 5th May Drone Highlights!

Join me on an exhilarating aerial adventure as my DJI Mini 3 Pro takes you on a journey over the Festival of Steam Gala on Sunday, 5th May 2024. This video showcases the intense steam-hauled action from the 3-day event, which took place from 4th to 6th May.
Witness the mighty locomotives, including the esteemed guest stars - the 45690 “Leander” from the London Midland and Scottish Railway and the recreated Great Western Railway Saint class 2999 “Lady of Legend” - as they demonstrate their power on some of the most challenging gradients in railway preservation. This footage not only highlights their impressive performances but also captures the momentous occasion of Leander’s final steamings under its current boiler certificate.
