My first visit to the Great Central Railway for their Winter Steam Gala, the theme for the gala was Banbury in the late 1950's so the gala featured mainly GWR locos but also had locos from all of the 'Big Four' railway companies.

The full line up of locos included:

- ex-GWR 3700 Class 4-4-0 no.3717 'City Of Truro'
- ex-GWR 1400 Class 0-4-2T no.1450
- ex-GWR 2884 Class 2-8-0 no.3850
- ex-GWR 4900 Class 'Hall' 4-6-0 no.4953 'Pitchford Hall'
- ex-GWR 4575 Class 2-6-2T no.5526
- ex-LMS Black 5 4-6-0 no.45305 'Alderman A.E. Draper'
- ex-SR N15 Class 4-6-0 no.30777 'Sir Lamiel'
- ex-LNER K4 Class 2-6-0 no.61994 'The Great Marquess'

Shots include:

- 4953 moving through Loughborough station then seen from the road bridge backing onto her train to form a double header with 61994
- 4953 & 61994 seen departing Loughborough bound for Leicester
- Seen from the coach window, 4953 passes through Rothley station on wind cutters (I had hoped to get off the train at Leicester to do some filming but due to the train being jam packed, I couldn't get out)
- Back at Loughborough, the wind cutters are seen again as 30777 departs with them for Leicester (Not the best of shots but I thought I'd leave it in)
- 3717 & 61994 are seen arriving at Loughborough
- Now at Quorn, 1450 is seen arriving and then departing on a two coach local
- 45305 leaving Quorn to Loughborough light engine
- 3850 bringing the wind cutters into the station and shunting them into the siding
- 61994 blasts through Quorn on a spectacular run of the evening TPO whilst 3850 backs off the wind cutters into the station

A journey on the Welsh Highland Railway now where we travel on the 09:30 train from Porthmadog to Caernarfon and catching the 15:00 train back. This part sees us travelling from Caernarfon to Rhyd Ddu.

Scenes include:

- Caernarfon Castle.
- ex-SAR NGG16 Class 2-6-2+2-6-2 no.138 arriving into Caernarfon, no.143 on the rear which surprised me. The two would then double head to as far as Dinas where no.138 would come off and no.143 would carry on solo so I got a little taster of narrow gauge super power.
- Passing the site of Tryfan Junction Station which is in the process of being restored for future use.
- Departing Waunfawr.
- Climbing up to Rhyd Ddu whilst taken in some of the valley views.
- Traversing horse shoe curve once again then arriving at Rhyd Ddu.
