We weren't there for this one but I salute the staff and volunteers at the S.R. for making it all happen even when 'God's banana skin' is thrown in their path. Well done everyone, I hope the returns made it worthwhile despite these 'little challenges'.
Great video you put together from Friday Matt, I was with you for some of your filming so it was good to put a face to your channel. I’m Mike Jamie’s mate.
I knew I recognised you. I've met you before, Great Central Railway for the 40th anniversary of the 'Deltic Scotsman Farewell' with 55019. Glad you enjoyed the video!
What an opener, the tone of a 37 and then a 50 fading into the countryside👍👍 Great mix there Matthew. Hats off all round it seems to the organisational and engineering skills of the SR for keeping the event on track (pun not intended!)
We had a fab day at Swanage and Champion taking us up to Corfe Castle and Corfe Beer Festival, loved all the old Diesel Locos ferrying back and forth. Hats off to all the Staff and drivers etc was a hot day, and after the derailment keeping it all going 👍🏼
I was there on Saturday but left about an hour before the derailment. I had a great day, with great locomotives on a great railway. Get the 50s back next year.
GB Railfreight Class 73 - 73109 "Battle of Britain 80th Anniversary" was also present during the gala but spent most of the time stabled at the siding in Swanage station. Great effort by all concerned.
The 73 was part of the railtour that came in on the Thursday as the TC set caused an ETS flashover on D6515 due to water in one of the plugs. So the 73 was used only for ETS on the railtour, it was not part of the gala.

Never thought of watching a diesel gala but again after watching one of your amazing videos I’m hooked on them!
Southener you did it again!🫡
Great job at 15:15, you captured the 24 coming out of the trees very well there, my favourite part of the video. Nice share, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
That shot very nearly didn't make the final cut, so it means a lot.

@@TheSouthernerYTChannel Oh yes I was thinking we had that time on the way home, I spoke to you about mic's, cheers Mike.
Beautiful! Absolutely amazing! Love this railway and love all the cool locos and slrilling stock in these trains.
Great video thanks for sharing. I have just subscribed ☺️
Thank you

Excellent compilation....sadly I couldn't make it this year so this video is the next best thing to being there!

Oh boy i do love the class 50 i sure hope theres no headaches involving them
Shame about 50026 & 50021 ☹
Definitely! Though they're in safe hands with their owners.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel But I'm going there on May 28th so if I'm lucky, and they haven't fixed the 50 then, I might be lucky! 😄
@@SSccaanniiaa Provided the pair are fit to be moved by rail, they could well leave SR tomorrow.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel Ok! 😄☹
