Popular Post Garethp8873 Posted July 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2017 Whilst on a date today at the SVR, I was able to get a few snaps of the recently repainted BR Shark that took part in the charter with the Class 66. Has the Shark been completed or does it still require extra work? 29th July 2017 - Kidderminster - Bridgnorth 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Spent Wednesday down at Didcot once again with our lil Green Goddess, GWR 813 before she takes part in the Rails on the Western Front event this weekend and the Flying Scotsman event next week... Before heading down I managed to get a few shots of LMS/BR Class 11 12099 at Kidderminster Station. Btw yes I do know I have a slight obsession with 813...

Garethp8873 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Currently up in Manchester for the Gay Pride weekend. As always whilst up here, I aim to have a day out on the East Lancs Railway which is what I did yesterday. My loco for the day was the LMS Hughes Crab 13065 which I regretted not seeing when she visited the SVR for the November Gala... well now that has changed.

steve fay Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Bridgnorth station in 7mm on display at Telford. My dad built this model and donated it to them a few years ago I called in to Bridgnorth for breakfast before the show. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garethp8873 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Saw Bluebell at Bewdley this evening prior to another SVR Autumn Gala... a stunning loco indeed and looking forward to seeing her in action over the next few days 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite loads of Terriers being built, I heard somewhere only 9 Ps were built, and at least two of them survive in preservation. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garethp8873 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 First day of the Autumn Gala (well the Preview Day done). Quiet I can imagine because of the downpour but otherwise still a good day. Very impressed with NYMR's SR School 926 Repton and the NNR's GER Y14 584. Now just need to see the P in action... Roll on tomorrow and the beginning of three good days. 813 once again takes first priority of course... 21st September 2017 - Kidderminster - Bridgnorth - Autumn Gala 2017 Preview Day 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

locoholic Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Lots and lots of people at the SVR today - some trains very crowded indeed, due to long gaps between whole-line trains. Enjoyed seeing the J15 and Repton. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_mcfarlane Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I got there at Lunchtime. I enjoyed myself once the services had quietened down - some of the early afternoon services were standing room only, which wasn't the best experience. The local and autotrain services were much better. I also noticed that Prince seemed to have had a prang with the wall at one end of his temporary track at some point mid-afternoon. I hope the damage is minor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The SVR looks to be a fine show as usual. Sadly most YouTube gala videos are unwatchable because of downright lazy filming. I know the so-called professional film makers who churn out cheapo vids for the likes of Smiths don't pan round to follow the action, but it is a shame amateurs think it is the way to take movie.

Liam Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Although I wasn't down to do a shift, I went along anyway to the gala. So having arrived by train (and after visiting Footplate) I started at Kidderminster: Y14 564 took me to Bewdley, where I met some pals then continued to Highley behind my favourite SVR loco, GWR 'Manor' no. 7812 'Erlestoke Manor'. At Highley I had a very short ride behind 'Prince'. The brick wall next to the gate of the Engine House car park had a large crack in it - apparently this was caused when Prince failed to stop in time and rolled into the wall. Just before Repton arrived, the P left the goods loop heading south, with the recently refurbished SR brake van. Then Repton came in, but was about 40 minutes late leaving: 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
