Currently it is having a V&P as it was towards the top end of the mileage. The staff have also been doing the same on 1450 and getting things ready for Gala. Now that has gone I'm sure it will come along, especially being such a useful (if noisy) engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMS2968 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I assume we're talking of the Ivatt 4 43106? It is having a Valve & Piston exam at the moment, although this revealed serious damage to the valve heads and valve chest bores, so repairs will take longer than hoped. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Chris116 Posted March 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2019 Bad news for Diesel fans and good news for Steam fans! This weekend has all steam services with some loco changes at Kidderminster due to Platform One run round loop being out of use. Full details are on the SVR website. Looking forward to my visit this Saturday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) On Friday 22nd last week, Stourport Triangle resident GWR Hand Crane 446 and Match Truck ex-BR Conflat ADB707261 were pulled out. Currently at Bewdley Yard awaiting moving to Arley where GWR 446 will be cosmetically restored. The Conflat will be swapped with GWR 813 Fund owned wagon, GWR 'Rotank' 2501. Headed down to Bewdley this morning to snap a few shots of 446 and it is remarkable to see bar the Caution sign missing, 446 has still got alot of the original plates still attached. 25th March 2019 - Bewdley Edited March 25, 2019 by Garethp8873 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popped into Bewdley whilst on family duties on Saturday and noticed the change of stock in the yard. Many thanks for the explanation and intentions regarding what to do with the crane etc. An interesting set of trucks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others which include LMS Brake Van 730866, Cadbury Van 346, GWR Mink A 93045, GWR Gunpowder Van 58725 and ESSO Tank 2686 have gone up to Arley for the time being. I assume this is because of the Hand Crane coming to Bewdley and there being not enough room at the moment in time in the yard for all the wagons. The Hand Crane has been in that position since my first photo of it back in 2008, although I know it's been there longer than that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to have this resident with us at Arley, and to see the progress of its restoration.....? Maybe if it's okay and there' s no objection from all concerned, being there regularly, I could post images of this restoration Regards always....

Garethp8873 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Spent a few hours today at Bewdley. Main priority for today was to get a few shots of last built Manning Wardle 0-6-0 Saddle Tank 2047 'Warwickshire' who has been moved down to Bewdley along with her boiler, smokebox and saddle tank (currently on GWR 'Loriot' N Machinery Wagon 42343) awaiting to swap places with GWR Large Prairie 4150 who will go to Bridgnorth to complete her overhaul. Secondly whilst checking today's stats, I realised I had hit 3 million views!! This target was hit on Monday 8th last week. As always I want to say thank you to everyone who follows and favourites my photos on Flickr. I also want to especially say thank you to railway modellers (who I originally started doing this for) for having used my photos for reference and also linking to my photos in comments on here. Please do keep doing so everyone. Again thanks 15th April 2019 - Bewdley 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garethp8873 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Another good day on the Valley. Made even better by the arrival of our latest visitor from the West Somerset Railway, GWR Modified Hall 6960 Raveningham Hall. As part of a loco swap between the WSR and SVR, 6960 has come to the SVR whilst SVR resident GWR 7802 Bradley Manor will be going to the WSR. 7802 has headed down to the WSR today and will be there until early October 2019. This swap enables the WSR to have a ‘Blue’ route loco, whilst the SVR has the heavier ‘Red’ route loco. I look forward to seeing the 'Ratbag' in action now... 22nd May 2019 - Kidderminster - Bridgnorth 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
