Great atmosphere from a variety of interesting locations - as good as, if not better than, being there. A celebration indeed. Thanks for sharing, Bob K
Lovely video. Great to see 5 Bulleids in such great condition. Quite why Swanage did it is beyond me. 2 pacifics on a 5 coach train is surely overkill. I am all for realism, so I don't get it
But part of the fun of doing galas is doing different combinations of double headers and top and tails. It makes up part of a gala with extra trains, more passenger sets and a freight train. Galas are not always about realism and is about having fun.

I am a dinosaur. I want to see them as they worked. I don't even like seeing more than two people on the footplate. A forlorn hope. Ignore me.
Fair comments and personal preferences - nothing wrong with that; but what a privilege to see such a collection anywhere!
