- The West Somerset spring gala for 2023 would see three visiting engines head to line and the overall theme would be a Great Western one. 2999 'Lady Of Legend' courtesy of the Didcot Railway Centre was billed as the main guest, this would feature alongside Great Western Manor Class 7812 'Erlestoke Manor' from the Severn Valley Railway and with a late change the Severn Valley Railway, again, came to rescue and sent over 34027 'Taw Valley' to substitute for unavailable 4953 Pitchford Hall. The homefleet were almost in full attendance with 7828 'Odney Manor' in steam and it would be paired up with 7812 for plenty of double headed manor action. It was also touch and go for GWR pannier Tank 9466 which had just made it in time after ongoing repairs. The final two homefleet locos on show were GWR Large Prairie 5199 in an interesting shade of green ! and not forgetting West Somerset's mogul 9351. Unfortunately repairs on 7822 had over ran and Foxcote Manor would be unavailable.
The action is shot mostly on Friday and with a bit on Saturday whilst travelling the trains with fellow TH-camrs, Bob Masterman & Sykarost ! A great time was had and even the weather played ball, which provided some lovely spring conditions at certain times. Thanks to the WSR and all concerned for providing a great couple of days. I hope you enjoy the video. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Magnificent footage - my late Dad would've loved watching this. 🙏🏽
Amazing how far the WSR has come from those early days of the 2 Bagnell saddle tank engines Victor and Vulcan. I still have water colour prints of both on my wall.
Liam & Phil, A superb account of this impressive Gala. Regards, John
Cheers John, pleasant conditions in the afternoons made the event worthwhile.
Excellent video as always, loved the long distance scenic shots with the train merging into the landscape 👍
Wow that’s the best video I’ve seen of the gala fabulous well filmed too and some lovely shots well done 👍 ❤thanks 😊
Very kind of you to say so.
superb presentation 👍👍
Very enjoyable thank you.
What an excellent day out!! Thank you. It was great to hear a skylark over the first shot too. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great opening shot,a reminder of a more tranquil time.
Excellent Footage there Liam. Especially of the Saint and Taw Valley
Very well done, big thumbs up :)
Thanks as always !
Yes a great video, also as someone else said - great to hear the birds singing at the Start or just past the start of this great video 👍👍 so let me say, a great big thank you for sending this trimendous video, also thanks to everyone who made this great video 👍👍 👍
Many thanks John, we're glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video. More please.
Great video of my favourite line .the locations were very good also. I find the movement of the siderods and wheels mesmerising. The soundtrack was also excellent. Brilliant stuff .many thanks.
From distant Oz, I was lucky to travel on this line last year: became favourite.
Loved the first and second shots as these are perspectives unrecognisable from being on board. The usual superb footage.
Thanks, Edmund. This railway is right up there with big premier lines.
I have become a shareholder: partly a donation, apart from the free travel voucher.
Really enjoyable, excellent filming, especially those brightly contrasting fields of oil seed rape, thank you. The only downside is the mixed up livery of Taw Valley that I've already mentioned on the SVR Steam Gala thread ... wartime black on a 1946 loco? And a pre-grouping number on a rebuilt WC? I would prefer heritage railways to be more accurate in their presentation but hey, can't win 'em all. 😉
Great video,
Excellent video Liam and Phil. It looked a fantastic gala. You have done great coverage with great selection of locations. Plenty of action. Kind regards C&A
Many thanks as always, we enjoyed the gala from the train and the lineside.
Cool to see two kit-bashed Great Westerns (2999 and 9351) running at the same event.

Liam
Cheers mate, no mighty Clun this time ! You lot did well with it on the North Wales Coast.
lady of legend looks right at home on western territory
It most certainly did.
How long are the visiting locos staying at the WSR? I was unable to go this weekend but can next so I'm hoping they will all still be running?
7812 is there for the season, so you might see it.
