I was born and grew up in the UK. I'm old now, and I doubt I shall travel to the UK again, but well shot video like this almost makes me feel as though I am visiting. Thank you.

A lovely moody opening shot and some superb filming. Most enjoyable. I could only hear the locos but not see them. I was working across the road at Sheffield Park and garden. Thanks for the memories.

To see a Bulleid loco pulling a rake of Bulleid coaches behind the tender is site for sore eyes, the matching profile of coach and tender couldn't be better. This was an easy day out for Clan Line. The Schools pulling a rake of Southern green coaches also takes me back to the early 60's, though the cleanliness of Cheltenham is something you didn't see in the 60's! Great video.

Beautiful and magnificent a steam giant grand in all its glory!

Ah the Southerner, retail DVD quality videography pro gratis. Thank you!

Stunningly beautiful film of the Bluebell railways gala. I love the scene setting shots ,brilliant use of the zoom lens and (Thank goodness) not to much panning. Wonerful

Some great footage! I had a great day there! Cheltenham is one of my favourite locos, plus the chance to ride behind Clan Line! It was epic! Equally I’d not seen either of their home fleet which were operating the service trains. Whilst I had seen and been behind the H Class before - it’s a beautiful loco so I was pleased to see it out again 🙂

Brilliant thanks for sharing the video with us 😊 loved it. Roger in Canada.

I must say, that tender-first panned shot of Clan Line is excellent. The light really shows it off well. And of course those against the light shots at the beginning and7:45; that latter one could be somewhere between Salisbury & Exeter

Beautiful quality of footage and sound! I didn’t know there was so much old coaching stock, it seems to be breeding! Always loved the Schools Class because I built the Meccano No. 10 set model 35 years ago. It’s so nice I never took it apart. Even though it’s a huge model, it hardly effected the stock of parts in the set! 🤣

Thanks for recording and presenting this wonderful event in your unique style. The weather seems to have blessed this event, when other recent weekends have been drenched with downpours. As the seasons shift the crisp sound, crystal clear images and your careful framing will be revisited during the coming dark, dank dreary downtime. Thank you for sharing yet another of your tributes.

Beautiful footage Matthew. I was down on the Friday and had a brilliant time. Also Clan Line hauling Bulleid coaches is just glorious.

Looks like you had a good day as well ,love Clanline a great support crewe that I knew well from my Southhall days ! XXXX

Great footage, captured the locomotives beautifully.

Brilliant.

Very nice-only drawback is that it made me wish i was there. Great to see some classic Southern locos operating in a beautiful and very English [if you know what i mean!] kind of setting.

Good video from the Steam Gala :)

The s160 needs to return at some point was such a shame she failed would of loved to hear her bark out of sheffield park🥺

Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed the day out. At 18.00, it sounds as if the junior spotter was enjoying the outing too!!

yet again you have done your homework, clan line sweet as a nut.

Ah so your the fine gent who was I chatting with alongside others at Leamland Bridge for Clan Line. Superb high quality video as per normal.

Should that not read "Southern Giants of Steam"?!!!! Some cracking shots of 35028 (apart from the going backwards one!!!!) and always good to see and hear a Schools . You had better weather this weekend, was that a heat haze on those track panels?!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If you had told my ancestors this railway would be running in 2021, they might not have left in the 1700s...

Brill entertainment lived near bye and sharpthone tunnel brought back lovely memories: before the trains were opened up stags would hang around there getting the air con so to speak blow out from the tunnel ; how do s the driver see what’s coming if the train s wrong way around thanks more whistles loved it greetings h k

Superb footage. Were the nameplates on Clan Line changed to red especially for the weekend?
