Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Centenary Gala
 

yes I agree it was a great event.I attended on saturday and spent the day on the lineside between Toddington and WInchcombe.the 14xx was running with the autocoach, it made a great sight. All those GWR Locos celebrated the event in great style.
Well done to the GWSR I hope you were rewarded with record takings.

Thank you all for the pictures making it possible for me and others to enjoy the event.

My opld grey matter (getting a bit ancient nowadays) tells me the last time i was there they had a Bulied in bits. a Merchant navy i believe. anyone throw any light on this one? what was its name and did they ever get round to completing it. estimate 14 years since i was there.

I also visited the event but on the day I went (27th May) it rained for most of the day so couldnt film much due to the weather :mad: :( and Turo had broken down and I couldnt even get onto Turos cab :(, and the best pic I got of Turo was of her backside (i.e. her tender). But apart from that double headed 9Fs (I had never been behind this class either) and Hall & Castle double header it was pretty good. Also as I went on the train I had to leave Cheltenham Race Course station at 18:00ish to get the last bus to the station and it had just started to fine up and the evening sunshine was beautiful :mad:.

Some stills I took on the day:
