I was there today. It was a bit cold, the trains got delayed and not enough room to sit on coaches. For the first part of the day the coaches were very cold. The ice made it all look good though and we enjoyed getting there on the old bus.
It was a challenging day for all the volunteers today and I think they did an amazing job to keep things moving. I was there with 2807 and the loco had only been delivered less than 24 hours before its first departure as the weather delayed the transport from.Devon.
@@DamiensTrainsandTravels Yes, I saw they had a bit of trouble with the points but I think they all did a fantastic job and it was a very enjoyable day.
Great video Henry. I was thinking of coming today, but due to bad connections making it a long journey,and the cold weather, I didn't make it. Good to see what I missed, sat in the warmth!
Great video came in car went from blinding sun to fog and ice within seconds- Nice atmosphere plenty to see (if you could see haha) same about the cold really got me and the walk from the car to Shacklestone station was dreadful especially while icy but non the less a terrific day of steam!
Thanks, henry; those winter steam-ups produce really impressive clouds coming from all orifices. I noticed in two shots near the beginning, the signals seemed to be set for trains coming in the opposite direction; is there an explanation?
You're welcome! Thank you for watching. I did wonder about the signals. There are working signal boxes at Shackerston and Market Bosworth but I didn't ever see these signals move so it seems they not in use.
I think they should be done under the trade description act as there was no way it was the Winter Warmer Gala :) I got to Shackerstone before 9 and it was like its own micro climate having travelled from Nottingham where there was no fog and temperatures above freezing. Almost certainly stood at the side of you for some of your videos.
this is one i missed not advertised on media very much I'm so annoyedhave been here but I'm watched recordings and really scewed up better luck next year
Thank you for watching. They usually do have a Gala at this time of year although I've not been to one of their galas before. I did ready about this one in the Railway Magazine before Christmas.
Lovely video, I do love snowy shots. I had completely forgot the battlefield had a gala on but ig I wouldn’t have attended it due to the lack of funding around the railway compared to the locomotives last time I went. Battlefield sits at a 3/10 on my list.

The weather certainly wasn't friendly!
@@cameronwain1254 I saw your video. Good work.
A volunteer was telling me issues they had water getting frozen and the points too. I had a great day and happy with shots I got too.
@@DamiensTrainsandTravels Yes, I saw they had a bit of trouble with the points but I think they all did a fantastic job and it was a very enjoyable day.
Superb video, it was definitely a cold one at the gala.
Than you very much!
Nice video Henry :)
Super video! 🙂🙂😃😊😄 May have been a tad cold, but it made for some great atmospheric effects!!
Thank you for watching! It was worth putting up with the cold to see steam in this atmosphere.
Awesome video. Very wintry feel!
Thank you very much!

Thank you! I did wonder if I'd get there with the problems on the WCML but I'm glad I did as it's so rare to see UK steam in sub zero temperatures.

Looked like a good event, do they always put on bus services from Nuneaton for galas?
Yes, and a handful of other events too.
The bus is free, but the crew is more than welcoming of donations to help them maintain their buses :)

@@HenrysAdventures therefore the signals left off in both directions and the points set in advance.
You didn't give the game away by showing any actual clocks or thermometers! 21:47 That's me in the corner!
Thank you for watching!
