Making a star appearance at the Mid Hants Railways Spring Steam Gala would be the Didcot Railway Centre’s GWR Castle Class no 4079 ‘Pendennis Castle’ fresh from its lengthy overhaul after its life in Australia, with an appearance of visiting GWR 52xx no 5239 ‘Goliath’ from the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway, alongside the home fleet of 41312, 53808 & 506

Filmed on Monday 1st May 2023 with the assistance of @themodster the gala is captured whilst braving the ever changing English weather during the day! With most scenes focusing between Arlesford & Rookwood and also including Horse Lane, Alton Skatepark and Bitton

The sound of the Castle could be heard from almost 5 mins away in some clips as she took on the steep grades of the alps in style!
