Barrow Hill April LNER Gala: Joy Unconfined

Although its a few months too late, I have only recently learned of this wonderful UK gala at the famous Barrow Hill Roundhouse.

Featured: A1' Tornado', A2 'Blue Peter' (not in steam), A4s No. 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' and No. 60009 'Union of South Africa', K1 No. 62005, N7 No. 69621.

To say this is a sparkling representative of surviving LNER steam would be an understatement: and all enthusiasts are awaiting the return of the beloved 'Flying Scotsman' so as to have the ultimate line up: every major LNER class of express engine together again at last! (From A1 to A4!)

Here's a nice clip on Youtube, it gives a nice idea of the Majesty of the occasion: make sure to watch it in high quality mode!
