South Downs Light Railway Summer Gala 28/08/23 | Feat.Nigel Gresley, Coronation, Sir Sagramore,

I really enjoyed my first visit to the 10.25-inch gauge South Downs Light Railway in West Sussex. It had been on my 'to visit' list for a while and didn't disappoint! It was great to see a range of small standard gauge outline locomotives out and about, including several visitors. No.6220 'Coronation' unfortunately failed in the morning, but hard work by the shed staff saw her back in action at the end of the day, as featured in the video.
