Description
Steam engines were once again running on the Blaenavon Railway, for the 'Built in Leeds' Steam Gala weekend, with a very sunny day to characterise the atmosphere for the weekend.

The steam engines included:
Hudswell Saddle Tank 'Brookes No. 1'
Hudswell Tank Engine No. 18 'Jessie'
Bagnall Tank 3061 'Empress'
Andrew Barclay Tank Engine 'Rosyth No. 1'
Hudswell Clarke 1208 'Illingworth' (Harold)

The gala guest steam engine 'Illingworth' was renamed 'Harold' for this event, as 'Harold' used to work in the Ebbw Vale area many years ago.

'Brookes No. 1' comes from the Middleton Railway, while 'Illingworth' comes from Embsay and Bolton Railway.

This year, I filmed the Steam Gala event on my own with one camera, and only went up to the Blaenavon Railway gala event once, this time round, as the Dean Forest Railway's Diesel Gala weekend was on the same week, and we decided to go there on Sunday 15th September.

Despite filming on my own with one camera, I managed to film all the five steam engines within the one day of the steam gala, and I got to film everything that I needed to do for the film.

Filmed on Saturday 14th September, 2019.
Filmed and Produced by Thomas Coombes
