Epping Ongar Railways Southern Giants Gala

Описание: What a magnificent event the Epping Ongar Railway held, their Southern Giants Gala was truly spectacular with four unique locomotives in operation

Gala roster:

• Pitchford hall - home fleet for Epping Ongar
• Converted Hunslet Austerity Dave - on loan from the watercress line
• Battle of Britain 257 squadron - courtesy of the Swanage Railway & Southern locomotives limited
• Schools Class Repton - courtesy of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway

The gala featured several unique sights to behold, such as experiencing a shark break van ride, top & tail loco formation and a push/pull formation too

I thoroughly enjoyed this gala, along side my friend ​⁠‪@lymstation5385‬ who accompanied me to the event
