I'm a bit late but here's some of my pics from Sunday, mostly from the footpath alongside Keighley bank as it's one of my favourite photo spots :) Had a lovely time as always, Worth Valley galas never fail to disappoint :D [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

Have you been hovering over the webpage?! Only just got updated haha. Only came out of our gala meeting a short time ago! Yes sadly it hasn’t been for the want of trying, but an external issue has meant the loco just can’t be done in time....

A fantastic weekend, I managed to visit on Thursday and Saturday so here's my video. For anyone who just wants to hear the castle I suggest jumping to 15:47 where its climbs the bank from Damems, note that the clip starts with it leaving Damems...

Well, didn't intend taking this long to post Part 2 of 60007's run but things to do, places to go, but have finished the report of an excellent day out. For the record, the 3 Class 8 Giants of Steam Southbound Climbs of Shap were: To the...

It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that our Chairman, Brian Hall, passed away peacefully this morning after a short illness. His wife and children were with him as he faded away without any pain or distress. Brian’s passing very...

Latest SVR news states it became obvious early in the new year that 4150 won't be ready for the Spring Gala (despite a big push) and they are now targeting early summer. On a selfish note 4110 from the East Somerset would make a nice replacement...

Here you are Al - my shot of W8. I was on Fenchurch. First time I've been to the end of Platform 1 at Horsted on an engine! [ATTACH] Before leaving, I checked the Running Foreman's notes for the day. We were apparently 25 minutes late off...

Saturday saw me and a mate make the long trek for our first ever Bluebell gala. We were very impressed. Great railway, friendly staff and a cracking selection of locos, with plenty of noise. Wonderful selection of rolling stock too. The gala ran...

Visited today with one main focus - Newington/32646/W8 Freshwater. (Do these locos hold the record for multiple identities?) Last saw Freshwater on a plinth outside a pub on Hayling Island so this was a long overdue coming together of man and...
