<p>RD31559vid.   Three of the six engines taking part in the Bluebell Railway’s 2026 Giants of Steam Gala were visiting from other railways, but this short video focuses on two of the Bluebell's own resident engines.  These are B.R. Standard Class 4MT Class 2-6-4T 80151 and rebuilt Southern Railway Bulleid Battle of Britain Class Light Pacific 34059 SIR ARCHIBALD SINCLAIR. <br />
<br />
 The Class 4 tank is seen shunting a rake of vintage carriages in the brilliant autumn sunshine.   The splendid Metropolitan Railway set is included in this train and as I hail from leafy Middlesex I'm always pleased to see and ride in these as they bring back many childhood memories.  <br />
<br />
The video ends with the Battle of Britain arriving from Sheffield Park with an up train to Kingscote and East Grinstead.   <br />

<p>In the car in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradford_on_Avon" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Bradford-on-Avon</a>, heading to a car park. We ended up parking that day close to Bradford-on-Avon Station.<br />
<br />
Bradford on Avon (sometimes Bradford-on-Avon) is a town and civil parish in west Wiltshire, England, near the border with Somerset. The town's canal, historic buildings, shops, pubs and restaurants make it popular with tourists. The parish had a population of 10,405 at the 2021 census.<br />
<br />
The history of the town can be traced back to Roman origins. It has several buildings dating from the 17th century, when the town grew due to the thriving English woollen textile industry.<br />

From Trowbridge Road, Bradford-on-Avon. The SatNav to a Long Stay car park didn't get us to it, and would have been a bit of a long walk into the town centre, so we drove back into town to a car park closer to the centre, a Short Stay car park.</p>
