'Great Western Glory' | The Severn Valley Railway 'Spring Steam Gala' 2023

2023 marks the 100th Anniversary for many a historical railway event; 100 Years of the 'Big Four' grouping, 100 Years of the GNR A1's to name a few. But the Severn Valley Railway set their sights on the GWR, and 100 years of the Castle Class for their Spring Steam Gala. Over the weekend of the 14th - 16th of April, the SVR held their annual Spring Steam Gala, operating an intensive timetable with Express & Local passenger trains as well as goods trains. The line utilised a mixture of home fleet and visiting engines, the most notable of which being newly overhauled Collett Castle 4079 'Pendenis Castle' from Didcot Railway Centre. Small Prairie 4555 visiting from the Dartmouth Steam Railway, and BR 2MT 78018 from the Great Central Railway completed the set of guest engines. A few notable locos in the home fleet, included the return to traffic of GWR Manor 7812 'Erlestoke Manor' post overhaul, as well as Bulleid Light Pacific 34027 'Taw Valley' and Ivatt 4MT 43106 which are both in their last year of boiler ticket. 34027 was carrying it's rather striking temporary SR Sunshine Black livery, bringing a splash of SR to the gala. 0:00 34027 'Taw Valley' 5:50 7714 10:08 43106 13:17 78018 17:16 4930 'Hagley Hall' 22:02 4555 29:14 7812 'Erlestoke Manor' 35:50 4079 'Pendenis Castle' The weather was rather up and down over the three days, rather typical for the time of year, but that gave some interesting conditions to watch a fantastic gala unfold. Many thanks to all involved in planning and running an overall brilliant event. Hope you enjoy! ‪@82AStudios‬ ‪@SDJR7F88‬ ‪@SpeedToTheWest‬ ‪@SAYFILMPRODUCTIONS‬ ‪@BrickishRail‬ ‪@SmokyMtnSteam‬ Facebook Page:   / frontlinesteam
