Swanage Railway Steam Gala – The Works Outing

Ted chilling with the mugs at the Swanage Railway Steam Gala - The Works Outing

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Swanage Railway Steam Gala – The Works Outing

The first steam gala of 2018 for the Swanage Railway was held over the 22/23/24 March and called ‘The Works Outing’.

This year’s event was a smaller affair than last years mega ‘Bulleid fest’.  That event saw 5 Bulleid locos in operation celebrating the 50th anniversary of the last steam trains on the Southern Region.

Steam Locos

The Works Outing steam gala was a purely home fleet gala featuring

  • 31806 – SR Mogul U Class
  • 30120 – LSWR T9
  • 80104 – BR Class 4MT
  • 34053 Sir Keith Park – SR Battle of Britain Class
  • 33012/D6515 – Class 33 working trains from Norden to the River Frome boundary

Train Running

Fridays Timetable seemed to run well without any major operating issues. Saturdays running was reasonably good but the Sunday suffered some delays. Enthusiast numbers seemed down to last year but is not surprising considering the huge Bulleid event was one of the best steam shows of 2017.

Galas and events featuring a ‘home only’ fleet always struggle to pull big crowds when comparing with bigger events that pull locos in from all over the country. That doesn’t mean the event is any less enjoyable. Any event with an intensive service is generally a good crowd pleaser. The costs associated with moving locos around the network means not every event can be massive.

The attendees seemed to have a great day so I would consider the gala a success.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid style=”lazy” items_per_page=”4″ element_width=”6″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1551112038462-5ce3496b-4f5d-6″ include=”52016,52017,52019,52021″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

New Products and Pictures

We had some more new products and pictures which were well received. The new enamel mugs and travel mugs were very popular.

Our latest Stuart Black designs were also well received. We now have a nice range of Stuart’s popular side profile drawings featuring many popular steam locos and a range of exclusively numbered diesel locos. These pictures are exclusively available on our products as we are the sole authorised supplier of these pictures on gift products.

Even though this was a steam event, Doris was happy to model a 50021 Rodney Polo Shirt and Indomitable crest Beanie Hat. Fair play to the steam punters who put their hands in their pockets to help support these two great Class 50s![/vc_column_text][vc_media_grid style=”lazy” items_per_page=”3″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1551112038467-b9ad6a1e-060a-2″ include=”52020,52018,52015″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Au Revoir Swanage

Below is Bulleid Battle of Britian Class 34053 Sir Keith Park leaving Swanage with a flurry on the last nortbound service of the event.

All that was left after a thoroughly enjoyable weekend, was to pack the van and enjoy a quick portion of fish and chips on the seafront before the long drive home![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/zFjeNMD6lN8″ align=”center” title=”Battle of Britain Class 34053 Sir Keith Park Leaving Swanage”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala 2018

Class 40 40106 at Bury on the East Lancs Railway

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala 2018

The weekend of February 17th and 18th February was the East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala 2018 and saw us make our first of several visits this year to the East Lancs Railway.

The East Lancs Railway always puts on a great show in conjunction with the East Lancs Railway Diesel Group and the other based owners and loco groups.

In all, the East Lancs Railway probably has the best ‘home fleet’ of any preserved railway in the UK.

Not many railways can boast the following locos as ‘home based’!

  • Class 14
  • Class 33
  • Class 35
  • Class 37
  • Class 40s – note the plural!
  • Class 45
  • Class 47
  • Class 50

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid style=”lazy” items_per_page=”5″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1551112118994-d904ddd7-dc67-3″ include=”51962,51960,51959,51958,51957″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Pre Show Hiccups

No gala ever runs smoothly and a few locos did succumb to niggly problems before the gala started namely –

  • Class 56 56006
  • Class 47 D1842
  • Class 42 D832

At the end of the day, these complicated locos require a great deal of time and manpower combined with plenty of cash to keep running, so can be forgiven for the odd hiccup now and then – although 56006 seems to be pushing its luck. This loco is turning into a bit of a hangar queen![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Warm Welcome

We arrived nice and early and had a fantastic reception from the staff and volunteers. Its always a pleasure to bring the stall to the East Lancs Railway as everyone is so warm and friendly – rather befitting as it was somewhat wet and extremely cold!

We set up in between the Bury Valiant Group and the Class 40 Preservation Society.

There were a few new goodies – all of our clothing was on show including fleeces, hoodies, polos and beanie hats.

Also we had a small range of our 50021 and 50026 fund raising merchandise on sale.[/vc_column_text][vc_media_grid style=”lazy” items_per_page=”5″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1551112118999-ed0c6717-2864-5″ include=”51963,51956,51955″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Another Great East Lancs Railway Gala

By all accounts the gala went well. The train service was mostly maintained although there were a few issues here and there. Class 50 50015 Valiant had encountered a few problems on the run up to the gala but performed impeccably.

Everybody we spoke to seemed really happy with the event, so well done East Lancs!

Trade was good on the 50021 and 50026 fundraising items and the main stall so a huge thanks to everyone who came and chatted or bought something. Its all very much appreciated!

Below is a fun video of the highlights from Bury followed by some cartoon storyboard artworks I have been playing with.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/8E2FPck42SQ” align=”center” title=”Video Highlights of the East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala 2018″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Thanks and Back Again Soon!

Another big thanks to all the loco owners, volunteers and staff who jointly made this a thoroughly enjoyable – albeit absolutely freezing – railway gala!

We will be back to the East Lancs Railway on 2nd March for the 3 day East Lancs Railway Spring Steam Gala to do it all again!

If you are planning on going then make sure you drop by and say hi! If not, you can find GDMK Images at these events

All the best

Side Profile Train Pictures Added – First Pictures Added

You may have seen a number of side profile drawings of classic steam and diesel locomotives appearing on our products.

I have long admired the side profile style of artwork and have wanted to include a range in my offerings. I saw Stuart Blacks side profile artwork on the event circuit and decided to contact him.

I initially approached Stuart Black about the possibility of creating one of his classic ‘Evolution’ style pictures of 50021 Rodney for my personal collection. I asked Stuart about acquiring the rights to sell this picture as part of our fund raising efforts for 50021 and 50026. Stuart was very helpful and the end result is we now stock an exclusive ‘50021 Rodney Evolution’ range of products.

Famous Locos

Following on from this conversation, we came to an agreement whereby I am able to stock and sell side profile pictures of many classic steam and diesel locos on our gift products including –

  • LNER A3 60103 Flying Scotsman
  • LNER A4 60009 Union of South Africa
  • GWR King Class 6000 King George V
  • New Build A1 Peppercorn 60163 Tornado
  • LMS Princess Coronation 46256 Sir William A Stanier FRS
  • LMS Princess Coronation 6220
  • Southern Bulleid Battle of Britain Class 34057 Biggin Hill

Stuart created me new versions of some of his existing diesel loco pictures and include

  • Class 40 40022 Laconia
  • Class 45 45048 The Royal Marines
  • Class 55 55004 Queens Own Highlander

All the side profile pictures are available to buy on our entire small gift range including mobile phone cases, wallets and purses, mugs and bags.

[ux_products auto_slide=”5000″ equalize_box=”true” ids=”48606,49481,48627,51843,48633,49466,48650,49491,48594″]

More Side Profile Pictures to Come

I will be adding more side profile pictures from Stuart in the near future including

  • Class 37
  • Class 47
  • Class 68
  • a number of classic aviation types

If there are any particular aircraft, individual locos or classes you would like to see added then let us know! In the meantime have a look at our new side profile pictures and let us know what you think!

All the best for now

Gary and Dawn
