Nice video. Was at the gala on the Friday and thought Lady of Legend looked gorgeous. Went over to the driver and said what a beautiful loco she was, he replied "Ah but she's a pig to drive! "
Thank you! Oh yeah she's the reason I decided to go in the end. What a stunner! Yeah I can imagine she'd be quite difficult to drive, especially given how old the design is! I think it dates back to 1902?
@@TheGreatWesternGuy I think you're right, and they were all withdrawn by 1953. Most memorable ride I had on the GCR was a few years ago behind City of Truro -an elegant Edwardian loco of similar era; the power up the bank from Leicester North was amazing, as was the sound!
Enjoyed your video, was there myself for 2 days and what a brilliant steam gala it was and even the weather was fantastic, i have subscribed to you...Mal
Very nice vlog from the great central railway gala buddy. I’ve never been there before but do want to visit one day! I’ll look forward to part 2.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Oh it is so worth it! Fantastic day out, and a lot to see! Thank you for watching!
