    80151 will be turned by low loader on Wednesday to face north. The low loader will then take 33108 back to the SVR.

    [IMG] Good to read about the latest gala guest. <BJ> ''A surprise late addition to the weekend is No.2315 ‘Lady Ingrid’, fresh from work at Williton. This plucky 0-4-0 saddle tank may be small, but she has enjoyed a fascinating preservation...

  7. Johnme101 liked Robin's post in the thread Severn Valley Autumn Steam Gala - 17 to 20 Sept.

    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....

  8. Johnme101 liked Wagoniester's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.

    Given how much it has cost to do restorations of locos such as 4110 and 4150 recently completed, I envisage a restoration of 80100 getting little-to-no change from £1million at the very least. In some ways, it does tell a story by showing how...

    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...

    The starting point (still a chair, but today with an orange jacket on it) is in the distance by the field boundary. [ATTACH] As you can see we were just 5 people today, plus the digger driver.
