Severn Valley Railway Festival Of Steam 6/3/09

Another fine 3 day gala from the SVR, which saw four visiting main line loco's, 70013 Oliver Cromwell, 5029 Nunney Castle, 71000 Duke of Gloucester and 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley joining SVR based engines 7812 Erlestoke Manor and prairie tank 5164. I visited on the Friday and decided to shoot the video around the Arley area and was very fortunate as it was a pleasant sunny day until late afternoon. Perfect timekeeping and immaculately turned out loco's and stock as one has come to expect from the SVR.

Marvellous shots there. Do you hold a lineside pass for the SVR? Just wondering!

[acw71000]

Thank you. It is not possible to get many of the shots included in the video without a lineside pass

Thanks, yes it's a lovely line in a great part of the country. Good job the train crew didn't get bumped off!

We are so lucky we have this on our doorstep I live locally. I once did a murder mystery night on the SVR we picked the punters up in Bewdley then did the round trip between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster everything had to be done twice! The best part was when the train crew came for their dinner having parked us up on the viaduct over the Severn! We just managed to bump the last victim off before we reached Bridgnorth. And solve the mystery.

Thanks very much, I agree with you, many people here don't appreciate what we have in this country
