Another excellent day at the Severn Valley today - it always delivers the goods! All locos seemed to be behaving well and things were running pretty much to time most of the day. Highlight for me was seeing 46115 for the first time in many...

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....
