SVR Autumn Steam Gala

From 17th–20th September, the SVR held its annual Autumn Steam Gala, featuring a fantastic mixture of small and large visiting locomotives. The first two visitors were particularly well suited to the line: Pannier Tank 9681 and Ivatt Tank 41313. Both made their first visits to the SVR, and it was fantastic to see them working their way through the Valley, much as similar locomotives would have done during steam days. The next two visitors were brought in as replacements for 80097 and 5526 — and what great replacements they were! 3850 from the GWSR also made its first visit to the line, alongside the welcome return of 46115 Scots Guardsman. All four locomotives looked perfectly at home working with the SVR’s suited stock and proved to be very popular visitors throughout the Autumn Steam Gala.

GWSR Mixed Traction Gala

This weekend, the GWSR hosted its Mixed Traction Gala, featuring a varied mix of passenger and goods workings hauled by the home fleet of steam and diesel locomotives.

Weather-wise, it was a frustrating day, with the sun disappearing at all the wrong moments and the wind playing havoc with the exhaust. However, I did manage to capture two particularly pleasing shots: 2807 looking right at home on the goods, and finally, the glint shot of 6880 and 45110 double-heading as they departed Gotherington — one I’d been looking forward to capturing all week!

All in all, not a bad gala, with a great line-up to suit everyone and services running to time.
