RailAdvent Plus Streaming Library Expands with East Lancashire Railway Small …

The RailAdvent Plus Gold member streaming library has a new addition that puts the spotlight on the small engines. Following the Severn Valley Railway Branchline Weekend, we now have coverage of the Small Engines Gala 2026 at the East Lancashire Railway.

For those who love to see the smaller engines in action, this DVD is a must-watch. The event at the East Lancashire Railway kicked off the Gala calendar in the North West for 2026.

During the weekend, engines like Willy the Well Tank and The King shared the spotlight with other smaller engines. The DVD includes about an hour of footage, featuring double headers, a Quadruple Header finale, and onboard scenes.

Keep an eye out for special appearances by diesel shunters on passenger trains and the Pug making its way to Rawtenstall. And don’t worry, the music only plays during the opening and closing credits, not throughout the DVDs.

With this new addition, there are now over 100 hours of streaming footage available for annual members. If you’re already a member, head over to the Streaming Library to enjoy the content. If you’re not a member yet, you can join today to start streaming whenever you want. It’s a great way to experience the excitement of railway events from the comfort of your own home!
