Atmospheric Steam - Mid Hants Railway - 2018 Autumn Steam Gala (England)

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Early morning at Ropley locomotive power depot during a Steam Gala event is the nearest thing to a genuine British Rail steam shed in the mid 50-s. There was still a chill in the air as the autumn sun rose above the horizon adding a warm glow to the clouds of steam hanging in the air, as the locomotives were being prepared for the day ahead. The cheery locomotive crews enjoy the moment sharing jokes and stories before visitors start arriving in large numbers. Watch the locomotives leaving towards both Alton and Alresford, where they will be coupled to their respective carriages to form the first services of the day. Even more people start to arrive giving the station an authentic early morning rush hour feel. Spend the day riding the trains and visiting all the stations, including a ride over the full length of the line with the demonstration freight train. The topiary and flower beds at both Ropley and Medstead are a real credit to volunteers who keep both stations in such good order. Finally we head back to Ropley to take a look at the repair facilities and see the light engines returning at the end of a wonderful day, with the setting sun bathing everything in a glorious orange glow. The Mid Hants Railway staff and volunteers deserve a massive -thank you- from all of us who attended this outstanding event. The railway is a Standard gauge (1, 435 mm / 4 ft 8-2 in) line that was once part of a cross country route between Winchester and Alton in Southern England. To learn at little more about the line

Hello Tim! Another wonderful video of you. My family looked at it. I can not see much at the moment. I'll catch up on that in a few weeks. Must go to the hospital. Cataract on both eyes. And that with 59 years. After that, hopefully it will be better again. Greetings from Hans. --

Hello Tim, again at one of your favorite railways (among dozens others worldwide) you caught perfectly Autumn steam mood at cold sunny day. Great pics in the workshop. As you mentioned earlier on Watercress Line, these people are very accommodating to their fans. - Heinz
