That's a really good video, thank you for sharing it - I'm a regular volunteer at Apedale Valley Light Railway/Moseley Railway Trust and was so pleased to see so many people come along and see us, both Saturday and Sunday were great days. In answer to penninefilms - our theme for the gala was Made in Staffordshire, so yes all the running steam engines were made in Staffordshire, UK.
The Joffre (big grey one) and Tattoo, both seen on the video were built in 1916 in the Kerr Stuart factory based in Stoke, UK. It was the first time since 1916 (after a 12 year restoration project of The Joffre) that both these engines were back together. Reginald Mitchell, the man behind the Spitfire, worked in the Kerr Stuart factory in 1916 when both of these engines were built, before he created the Sptifire.
