Arley Station - Severn Valley Railway

[BobM]

Evening All,

It is, always a privilege to be able to undertake volunteer work on the SVR among good friends, to  further the Heritage Railway movement and to protect and preserve the wonderful station at Arley which has been a major part of my life for nearly 20 years now.

 

There may be no remuneration for volunteer work but who needs paying for a hobby when you stand back at a safe distance and obtain a view such as this?

 

4079 out on test runs today...looks superb and sounded even greater as she 'barked' her way through Arley.

 

The Spring Gala is fast approaching.....!

 

Regards always

Bob

A bit of a long shot, but do any civil engineering drawings of the road bridge at Arley exist? I'm just starting my Arley based layout and the bridge is a very distinctive shape.
