    I think you and your fellow gala organisers can rightly give yourselves a big pat on the back. Although I wasn't present, I've looked at the pictures and read the comments on here and to receive so much feedback on the lines of "one of the best...

    An excellent three days at the Valley. Great timetable, friendly atmosphere, excellent last-minute guests, and a wonderful freight train. What stands out at an SVR gala are the volunteers, without which it wouldn't happen. Their interaction with...

    A more full ‘mop-up’ if you like on the event which should hopefully show the vision we are pushing for with these events - Firstly, Thankyou to you all for your feedback above, both positive and negative. We’ve made a note of it, and it is...

    As I know some on this forum appreciate the open book policy on how we’re doing at Spa Valley, this is the latest finance report I sent out to volunteers last night. Good evening everyone, I wanted to share some excellent news about the Model...

    It’s already been gauged etc, don’t forget it hasn’t been in use throughout August, so there’s been a fair old bit of time to get things sorted for it.

    No railway does a gala like the SVR. A few years ago on holiday I was talking to the chairman of GECP, the group that work steam on the Nice - Digne metre gauge line. He’d been to the SVR gala the year before and still couldn’t believe what he’d...

    Well Thankyou to you all for your kind comments. We’ve had a blast this weekend. The profits have been superb, but more importantly the good feeling, the good wishes, and the happy faces around the place has been great to see. This gala will go...

    There really isn't a lot to do, bar fitting the electronics - which apparently has a date confirmed with the contractor according to the last YouTube update. Don't forget it went to Derby via rail last year, so it is already a known entity to...
