Echoing others comments you've done a brilliant job to deliver a gala that's clearly been very well thought out and planned through. Well done! A really nice mix of engines, movements and rolling stock across four days. Crucially for me no loco...

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...

I remember being in the second coach and the sound of the loco is something I'll never forget, most of the die hard enthusiasts in the front coach were close to tears,a very sad day .

A most enjoyable day today, especially the morning's round trip with 4150, seen during a break at Hampton Loade. [ATTACH] 4150 was on the freight in the afternoon. Hopefully get some better photos of the guest locos over the next 3 days....

Absolutely gutted to be missing this! I personally much prefer smaller engines on the WSR, so this event is right up my street. The return of 4110, this time in operational condition, will be a really great occasion. It really is a case of right...

Interesting to know an operational loco has been sold! Surprised to see on the timetable that the 2MT is being let loose with 5 carriages, should be a great way to end the day! I think the weekend you have picked is the only realistic one, with...

Not quite true, but you'd be forgiven for missing it seeing as we haven't formally announced it yet - Andrew Barclay no.2315 'Lady Ingrid' is the final locomotive for the lineup, subject to agreement of contract. 'Lady Ingrid' is freshly...

WSR Galas hit the ground running way back in March 1996 with the S&D 30 event and haven't missed a beat since. Releasing the pigeons at Washford was a nice touch at that event. Were they carried aboard the GWR Siphon? Can't remember now.
