Great video! Looks like a fun event :) The opening shot of Archie was fab and it was lovely to see the O1 out on a full length goods train for a change. The second location in the afternoon was a nice different one :)

Thank you 😊 it was a super event that Bluebell put on. O1 on the freight was fantastic, a great site and hopefully we see more of that this year. Living in Sharpthorne helps with knowing all the different locations for the railway ☺️

[@SharpthorneSteam]

Lovely. Did the SR really paint some open wagons bright orange?!

[@SharpthorneSteam]

Indeed they did. Thank you for the comment!
Have a look at the article on the Bluebell website for more information into the wagon: www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/pic2/wagons/62002.html
