RMweb Premium Welchester Posted May 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 20, 2017 Erm, it's upside down! Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to transport Hampton Loade to Australia, but don't know how to put it right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 That's not snow in May, surely? Having said that I live in the Midlands and one year (2007 if I recall correctly) there was snow in May! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted May 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2017 Some smashing photos there D9016..... Looks like you had some good weather! And D1062 looking great in blue.... Phil Indeed, excellent pics and many thanks for posting, I really wanted to get to the gala but other commitments prevent me from going. Fantastic line-up this year. More pics of traction action would be most welcome! Cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Welchester Posted May 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 20, 2017 Thanks, Mike Trice for fixing the pic. It wasn't snow, but a great deal of hail. There was also thunder and lightning. Very, very frightening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzler17 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Not sure if this is the correct place for this request but as it's related to the SVR here goes. Does anyone have a copy of the WTT for the 2017 Diesel Gala that they no longer require? I've never been to the SVR, shame on you I hear you all say, but I would like to know how they operate the line under Gala conditions and the WTT seems the ideal source of information. Here's hoping.

Nigel What information on "operating the railway under Gala conditions" do you need? The railway is operated as normal but using every possible passing point/ path.

Garethp8873 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Today was officially my first day of doing volunteer work with the GWR (SVR) Association at Bewdley working on unique GWR Collett Bow End 6045. I can certainly say I left today feeling very pleased that I have helped contribute something to the overall restoration of GWR 6045. It has also made me feel determined to get over to Bewdley again to continue my volunteering. As usual as well photos were done... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted May 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2017 Smashing photos Gareth - and looking forwards to seeing 6045 enter traffic, only another 2 ex GWR coaches to do after that one.... Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
