Severn Valley Railway 060310

The Standard 2 78019 was failed for the morning run, presumably to repair the leak she exhibited the day before. 7802 Bradley Manor proved a handsome replacement and a credit to the team of cleaners who operate to such good effect at Bewdley. The spotless loco carried the Cambrian Coast headboard complete with white buffers and looked superb. We were all the more pleased when we sneaked a second shot after she was held at the signal outside Bewdley. The afternoon run saw 78019 fully recovered and she put on a fine show at the Safari Park.
Locomotives in action: 4566 near Bewdley and Eardington (with the goods); 43106 (the Flying Pig) at Oldbury, Northwood Halt and Bewdley Tunnel; 5764 and 5786 at Bewdley Tunnel and leaving Bewdley; 7802 Bradley Manor at Northwood and approaching Bewdley; 5164 with the local at Bewdley and the tunnel; 61994 Great Marquess at Bewdley South and Stourport Junction; 6695 near Northwood Halt; 78019 at Stourport Junction.

another 5* effort Mike. Love the fact the SVR decide to coulpe visiting 5786 inside 5764 so noone can get a decent shot of it on Saturday! Glad i went Friday when she was on her own with GWR coaches...

Thanks. The railways go to great expense to bring in visiting locos then proceed to under-utilise them or hide them behind the local engines. You sometimes feel that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing and that little thought is put into utilisation by those at the 'coal face'. At least we saw ALL the visitors, so many thanks to the SVR for that.

Excellent set. Why can't everyone use a tripod?

Personally I cannot stand watching footage when the cameraman does not use one and quite cheap ones will give reasonable results. However steady his hands it always looks dreadful, but some people do not see it.

Superb video. 7802 looks wonderful in her Cambrian "gear".

@hurleyfunbags

Thanks. Doesn't she just! A tribute to the cleaners who did such a good job on her. She was a bit of the miss the week before.

Thanks Bob. We had a good day despite the weather. You need plenty of action to make a decent vid.

@acw71000

Thanks. I felt sorry for my chum, Clive, who had the one day sandwiched between two glorious ones...and he always blames ME for any bad weather!

We were very lucky that the crew were so co-operative. Strictly speaking they do not need to work there.

Another top class video Mike, totally professional throughout...5* Bob
