Statfold Country Park would once against host their March 'Spectacle of Steam' event- this time, a lot drier than the previous year! With a plethora of narrow gauge steam activity throughout the day and near unlimited access to the main narrow gauge running line, there were plenty of visual opportunities to see the fleet in action.
This video mainly covers the section between Oak Tree Halt and Cogan Halt (where the Fellumpa Village is located). The only train I rode that day was the Garratt K1 hauling the Darjeeling coach set. Same as my last March visit, I didn't cover the 'Mease Valley Light Railway' as I focused on the 2ft railway instead.
Overall, another decent outing, and looking forward to their June event later in the year.
Due to this video's length, it has been broken down into ‘Chapters’ where certain parts of it have been labelled correspondently.
LS = Lineside; all shots taken from stations and vantage points.
WS = Windowside; all shots taken from the droplights of passenger trains. The locomotive/s hauling it will be added too.
