SVR Autumn 2010 Gala

Thanks Dave. I will rectify that now. Thanks for letting me know. You can see all of my original post here:

Well what an amazing gala! I visited yesterday (Saturday 25th September) I had a super time. The fact I had purchaced a working timetable certainly helped me to get photos of all the engines which were running yesterday. I must congratulate the Severn Valley on running almost all of the train to timetable. I particularly enjoyed seeing No:3205, it is a wonderful little engine.

If you wish you can watch my videos, there are two, one is some of the best bits of Saturday condensed into 90 seconds. Or if you prefer you could watch the full length 10 minute version which includes all of the locomotive which ran at the gala.
Of course, I also took loads of photos, a few of my favorite ones can be found here. I visited the gala with a friend and therefore some of the photos also appear in the video. (Before you ask, no I can't multitask!)
If you were unable to attend you might like to read my report on the gala. Found here.
I do hope that everyone enjoys these small momentos of this excelent event.
WELL DONE SVR

 

Have got home after covering 442miles during the 3 days, and all I can say is thank you. One excellent gala which you rightly describe as the UK's Premier Steam Gala, for where else can so much happen within 16miles in just one weekend?! Best £40 I've spent in a long time.

So many highlights, doubleheaded Manors, 5764 on 7 with Jeff, being woken up by 7802 climbing Eardington when as far as I was aware we were still in Kidderminster and 34070's final climb of Eardington. The 3205+7802 doubleheaded finale was a fitting end to the gala and the celebration of 40years. Hopefully same again next year.

 

Excellent pics and vids already submitted on an excellent gala. Here's my contribution from Friday pm and Saturday

I only visited the gala on Saturday night at Highley - but what a great time to go! Saw all but 3205 at the station, (but saw it on Bewdley viaduct while en route!) and the goods train, local train with Truro, Leander and Manston all passed through. The evening goods train disappearing off into the darkness was magical! Thanks to everyone who made this gala happen!

I had an enjoyable 2 days at the Gala,Friday afternoon and Saturday, a small selection of my photo's from Saturday can be found at http://paul-simpson.fotopic.net/c1901497.html.

 

Just posted a whole bag of photo's from an excellent gala,Note these were all taken from the camcorder while recording video, my new toy (camcorder) can take an 8meg photo while filming, not as good as an SLR but save you making a mess of the video footage, secondly this is a preview of the video footage .
