A day at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway gala back in 1992.
Locomotives features at various locations along the line are:
BR Class 8F 2-8-0 number 48431 (withdrawn in 2000 and now on static display at Oxenhope.)
BR Class 8F 2-8-0 number 48773 (Last ran at the Severn Valley Railway in 2008 and now on static display in the 'Engine House'.
BR Class 3F 0-6-0T number 47279 (withdrawn from service and now on static display at Oxenhope).
BR Class 'West Country' 4-6-2 number 34027 'Taw Valley' (Operational)
BR Class 'Jubilee' 4-6-0 number 45596 'Bahamas' (Operational)
LNWR Class 'Coal Tank' 0-6-2T number 1054 (withdrawn from service in 2019, under restoration and may run again in 2022).
The video includes a long sequence showing 34027 struggling to get away from Oakworth station. Copious sanding was required to get the train moving. Some services are double-headed including the two 8Fs together, a rare sight.
34027 was a visiting locomotive and I think 48773 was too (from the SVR).
