The East Somerset Railways 2023 gala helping to launch 4110’s return to steam with her pulling her first passenger loaded trains in preservation (first time in 58 years!)
The gala had freight demonstrations with 4110 and 46447 as well as 4110, 4555 and 46447 swapping around on passenger trains, independently as well as on some double headers. The second to last train was a 60th anniversary double heading 4110 and 4555. Whilst all this 1719 “Lady Nan” was on driver for a tenner which proved extremely popular.
The weekend saw a record number of visitors to the railway which is fantastic to see and there was lots of fantastic feedback from visitors.
This video shows some of the gala on both days with two footplate ride videos and more!
I hope you enjoy.
