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 am trying to get my head around this, but as I read, it seems we have two organisations trying to reopen the entire branch line. One has a section open already, and the other group have just purchased a viaduct. My understanding is that the...

It looks like the good ol' days are back:) Well, almost. Tomorrow, it's planned to be 100% steam between Pickering and Grosmont with only Pebbles making two round trips between Whitby and Grosmont to spoil things. 926, 2392 & 92134 are doing...

Had an excellent day at the SVR on Friday. I was amazed how good the timekeeping was all day, certainly not normal for a gala. I don't know whether the timetable has been tweaked to make it more resilient, or if it was just luck that nothing...

Ditto regards 813, it goes really well. Gave me one of my runs of the day yesterday and has quite the surprising turn of speed. 4 coaches no problem although I think its limit is 5 on the valley unassisted. Also heard the same regards 4150,...

Robin liked neildimmer's post in the thread Severn Valley Autumn Steam Gala - 17 to 20 Sept.
Photos from my 2 day visit start with Friday, which turned out a very wet afternoon at Bridgnorth!!, excellent running all day i overheard a conversation at Bridgnorth between some footplate crew that 4150 is a very strong engine, far better than...

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...
