Keighley & Worth Valley Steam Gala 2023 

I’ve just caught Scot’s guardsman for the first time ever at earlswood station today

This is some of the best camera work I have seen - peaceful and lovely lines, well done! You spent time stood in the snow to get the best locomotive doubles and the effect is wonderful. Double Jubilee and double Black 5, rarely to be seen and in that snow setting possibly never again, and you captured some majestic exhaust sounds. Thank you.

Luke, you must be very proud of that incredible production. It's a lovely railway and so enhanced in the snow which you braved superbly without a single station shot lol. I guess the weather deterred lesser mortals so its a 10/10 for me mate, well done. Regards, Brian.👌

Stunning photography. It looked like the early 1960's. The KWVR always put on a good show. Thank you.

Good stuff, I admire your commitment, staying out filming in those conditions. I thought the night scene at Haworth was particularly evocative.

OMG amazing! Perfect weather!

nice weather, ideal for steam locomotive shots. hopefully the cameraman was dressed warmly...😊

Brilliant 👍

Brilliant! Nothing compares to steam!

Excellent caption

Some of the best steam video ever

For me this is the most photogenic and picturesque of the preserved railways. It provides great natural backdrops, old town, and industrial all at one location along with tunnels, bridges and gradients, its a win win. Not to mention superb stations and equipment. Its all this no matter the season and this snowy day shows how nice it can be in winter. Says alot for those who chose to save this line, those who have managed it and those who have worked on it all these years and continue to do so. Excellent filming btw and thanks for sharing this step back to a better time. That night scene with the train passing by was incredible could have been the 1930s! The K&WVR seems to have been lucky to be placed as excellent time machine of old industrial England more than anywhere else in the Rail preservation movement only automobiles scar a scene to the present day or someone in modern clothes if they get in a scene.

Wonderful video :)

Great filming there Luke.

What an excellent video ! Some truly splendid scenes, especially with the snow !

Great Video Mate I hope I visit the Keighley and Worth Valley Some day.

Outstanding video, just a pity that leander isn't in BR Green. The owner is adhereing to his father's wishes though surely the time has come? Jubilee's are beautiful looking locomotives and perhaps, with the single chimney Castles look so impressive (My Opinion)

Really good video I was on the trains on Thursday looking out at you dedicated people standing out in the cold and snow to bring us shots like these. Friday was a lot better with the bright sun and blue skies. A gala to remember for sure

Brrrr! Great video..

Amaaaazing video! Stunning images with steam locomotives in action and lovely winter landscapes! Good work! MEGA Thumbs Up & Subscribe Greetings from Dublin Andrew

Luke, Unpleasant weather conditions but a mighty fine video with a superb finale. Regards, John

Oh for the days when one had steam heating and could turn the little handle over to increase the warmth! The branch was planned for double track and was possibly intended to join with the L&YR at Colne or Hebden Bridge.

Excellent video. Very atmospheric.

I am really enjoyed is this video. It was new different of beautifull with very enjoyfull experience to me. So this video was very Beautifull in totally

Nice action, sadly I could only make the Thursday and gutted couldn't attend on another day for some other opportunities. This will be a Steam Gala to remember.

Amazing stuff man! I've got tomorrow before I edit and post my stuff but been there all 3 days, in the thick of the snow and blustery winds! Awesome video

Brilliant, and at least your railway workers don't go on strike!

Absolute banger, piano stimmed so hard that I’ve ceased up

Brilliant video, so full of atmosphere. Thank you for posting this 👍🏻🚂😀

Excellent video,and the weather was the icing on the cake!

The right kinda snow. :-)

Absolutely first class! The weather conditions almost turn this into an old black and white video, perfect for the age of steam.

Superb! Thank you.

Some brilliant scenes in here, thanks for capturing!

Brilliant to see such excellent shots of hard working locos and so well driven in challenging conditions!

hope the coach steam heating is working ok!

This video is awesome.

Magnificent filming. Excellent.

Magical, sublime, evocative. Brilliant!

There is something magical about snow& steam locos

Awesome!!!

Delightful! Beautiful photography!

Superb!

Brilliant stuff, really enjoyed that! Wonderful scenes although there was something about that night scene on shed!

Absolutely stunning video. Thanks for filming in those conditions.

Brave man in that weather. Superb video, well done 🥶✨️

A big thank you for freezing your bits off to bring us this professional-quality video. Highly watchable and much appreciated.

I have just picked this film up and what a truly remarkable record it is. The clarity of the camera work could not be bettered not least because of the various carefully chosen sites for the filming. The sights and sounds are quite superb added to by the atmospheric snowy conditions. This took me back to my childhood and then some. A thoroughly brilliant watch. Thank you for the effort put in and the equally brilliant work of the KWVR. Now I must watch it all over again.

Very atmospheric! Thank you

Super video! 👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃

Great video as always Luke. Regards, Jake.

Some excellent steam footage here, well done!

Cool👍
