The Bluebell’s Annual "Giants of Steam” returns for Railway 200!

This year, all loco that were running were New Build Locomotives! From LNER Peppercorn A1 Pacific, 60163 “Tornado” to the recently new build LB&SCR H2 Class, 32424 “Beachy Head”!

Loco Roster:
LNER A1 Peppercorn Pacific 60163 “Tornado”,
GWR Grange Class 6880 “Betton Grange”,
GWR Saint Class 2999 “Lady of Legend” &
LB&SCR H2 Class 32424 “Beachy Head”!

Unfortunately, on the day of my trip. The weather turned British! Not nice weather when standing around waiting for trains to come but I think I did a good job at filming them in nice locations despite the wet conditions!

I had planned to film the last train leaving East Grinstead but due to the rainy conditions. I didn’t fancy standing around in the rain again.

Towards the end of the Gala, they ran to doubleheaders! One with ”Betton Grange” & “Lady of Legend” and the other was ”Tornado” & “Beachy Head” at the front! Wonderful way to end a brilliant Gala!

Despite the rainy weather, it was a good Gala to end my railway trip of 2025! As the weather is starting to get rainy and cold.
