Mid Hants (Watercress Line) 2013 - The Autumn Steam Spectacular Gala including Tornado

Rain, wind, storm clouds, crowds of people and an amazing line up of steam engines all came together to create a very special atmosphere, the clock could well have been turned back 50 years. When I heard the weather forecast, I nearly stayed at home; fortunately the lure of steam got the better of me. This was a top notch Gala which the Mid Hants can be proud to have staged. This video was taken from various vantage points along the length of the line. Enjoy steam in the rain with the smiling crowds who braved the weather to see; Tornado, Britannia, Cheltenham, Lord Nelson, Wadebridge, Black 5 No. 45379, Braunton, U Class No. 31806 and much more.
