Severn Valley Railway - Spring Steam Gala 2017

Показать описание

For this year the Severn Valley Railway Spring Gala would have a slight southern feel to proceedings with the appearance of three Bullied's including the star guest 34081 'Squadron' which was running without nameplates. The other two guests were LMS Ivatt class 2, 41312 visiting from the Mid Hants Railway and finally 9F, 92214 from the Great Central Railway. With the homefeet well represented, there was a great variety of locos on show. The event saw plenty of great action with goods trains, double headers, re creations and and some good loaded trains, especially on the Sunday morning, with the Ivatt Class 2 hauling seven coaches and 34081 'Sqaudron' on load 10. The weather for the gala was pretty dull and with the odd bit of light rain here and there ! Thankfully there was some lively performances, especially with 1450 & 7714 double heading up Eardington Bank.

This, for me was a very good gala and the timekeeping was superb across all three days. Scenes are taken from Friday and Sunday morning. Also, a big thanks to the permanent way gang for some excellent lineside clearance work across the whole line, which has opened up some of the old shots from back in the day !

I hope you enjoy the video.

As a small boy I frequently travelled Waterloo-Winchester behind Arthurs, Nelsons and early Spam-cans. Then as a loco-spotter at Waterloo a new Bulleid seemed to appear every week. The return of the sound and the SR livery is absolute bliss.

Great locos, great rolling stock, and truly, even greater photography - all quite outstanding.

Many thanks, really enjoyed the video. I was working at the station in Bridgnorth and was only able to see the locos there.

Lovely footage Liam of the SVR Gala. Some lovely footage!
I visited on Sunday morning & had an accident! If you stayed after 12 noon the trains were delayed after I fell & gashed my head on a concrete railway sleeper. Had to be rescued at Stourport Junction & taken to hospital via the WM Safari Park to Worcester. But did manage a few hours filming! Geraint

A very good collection you have put together from your three day visit Liam with very little tender first action, I just went on Friday with my first video having no tender first footage.
