O Gauge Live Steam: Wiltshire July 2025

This year has been a great summer for garden railways. Here is a video of O gauge live steam at my Open Day in Wiltshire on a very hot day in July. In fact the sun was so intense that many of my friends where forced to to find shelter where they could. Many excellent runs including some rarely seen locos in steam. Also a good selection of battery radio controlled locos including a very diminutive Express Dairy shunter. Apart from video clips there are two slide shows of stills focusing on a) the Talent (i.e. the locos) and b) the Crew (i.e. the drivers and owners). Thanks to Chris, Geoff, Nicolas, and Will for use of their clips and to Neil for use of his stills. Special thanks to the domestic authorities for feeding and keeping us hydrated. 00:00 Intro 00:14 LMS 900 -John 00:22 LNER N2 - Nicolas 02:43 LNER K4 - Geoff 04:07 LMS Princess - Nicolas 05:58 Midland Compound - Nicolas 06:36 LNER J27 - John 07:12 GNR Atlantic - Dave 08:57 The Talent - a slide show 09:32 LMS Jubilee - Andrew 11:16 LMS Patriot - Trevor 12:40 Flying Scotsman - Nicolas 13:07 LNER B6 - Rafe 13:47 LMS Duchess - Andrew 14:07 Southern S15 - Graham 14:52 - The Crew 15:55 Credits
