Tanfield Railway Legends of Industry Gala - 2019 

I visited this lovely little railway just before lockdown in March 2020. It's a delight and this is an excellent video of it.

I only visited the Tanfield for the first time last month and was very impressed! It is now, without doubt, my favourite heritage railway. (I live in Northamptonshire.) Thank you for this beautifully and imaginatively-shot video which shows me what it looks like in summer! By the way, I spent many hours in the sidings among the derelict stock taking photographs. The staff don't seem too "precious" about allowing folk to carefully and respectfully explore. Try this at some heritage sites!!

Excellent video David. Great to see this old railway. Brilliant on board footage. Enjoyable watching . Kind regards C&A

Good footage David, hard working engines on a delightful railway

Mining may be no more, steam may be a forgotten everyday sight but Tanfield keeps the images of working coal and steam alive. Great video, great sound and a overall great weekend I. think. Going to hit the rewind to hear loco’s working hard for their living. Thanks to you for recording it and to Tanfield for keeping the heritage alive. Amacf

Fantastic job mate

I found this absolutely absorbing, David, with non-stop action throughout. I have seen GWR 813 at first hand although not bearing a name, nevertheless enjoyed seeing it here. This looked well planned with two (?identical) saddle tanks working together, other interesting pairings and how can 18 Lewin fail to be a favourite! Exciting on-board/post-footplate sequences. Kind regards, Bob.

It sure is a bonnie little line,just up the road from me :)

A delightful video in everyway. Enough to make me want to drink tea out of an enamel mug with a blue rim. It must have a few chips in it. A chipped mug that is, not chips in the tea. They go soggy lol
