Keighley & Worth Valley Railway - Mixed Traffic Gala 2021

18 months after their last gala event, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway returned to the gala scene once again with their Mixed Traffic Gala over the weekend of 10th-12th September. The event would see predominantly the home fleet in service, and they were joined by two guest locos in the form of BR Class 26 No 26007 and BR Class 27 No 27001. The event would also provide once of the last opportunities to see resident LMS 4F No 43924 in service before withdrawal for overhaul. The weather over the weekend was mostly cloudy, with the occasional bit of rain, and some sun also making an appearance too.
The full loco lineup was:-

Brilliant video. I was there on Sunday when it all went a bit haywire! Credit to the staff and volunteers for soldiering on through obstacle after obstacle. Kind regards. Cameron

The Class 26 seemed to be driven very unenterprisingly all weekend. It's like someone on the motorway who doesn't dare to go over 50 mph

[@fernandoqueirozpopovic7024]

Well she has some miles on her and probably the driver just enjoyed the scenery

[@asanewby4273]

Very well done! Hello from a railfan in America!

[@thebear3178]

Quality stuff 👏
I was there on Friday diesels only.
Good to catch up on mixed action.

At2:55perhaps he was given a gee-up by the Class 20 behind. You can imagine granny going "No! Slow down! We're going too fast!!"

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Definitely looked to be doing more than 25
