Severn Valley Railway - Spring Steam Gala - 19/04/2024

Описание: The Severn Valley Railway held their annual spring steam gala this April and with it came the likes of LBSCR Terrier "Fenchurch" from the bluebell, Pannier tank No. 1369 from the South Devon and the 'Lambton Tank' no. 29 coming from the NYMR. (To the surprise of no-one, Betton Grange dropped out). Alongside these visitors, the home fleet were in fine form. Standouts being the Stanier Mogul 2-6-0 No. 13268 in its remarkably smart new LMS Lined livery and a surprise return to service for the weekend for West Country Class No. 34027 "Taw Valley", still in her wartime black. (and also not featured in the video, but worth mentioning!)

Anyway enough yapping, hope you enjoy the video. Tried to salvage what I can from the typical Severn Valley weather freakshow, hence the inconsistent lighting I’m sorry can’t do much about the sun.

All shots taken at Eardington and Highley

Also, consider giving me a subscribe whilst you're here. Apparently 97.3% of you who watch aren't subscribed.... according to YouTube at least. So thanks and see you soon?
