    Thanks very much, I consider myself extremely lucky with the prairie silhouette. Was just hoping for some drifting exhaust and it worked across.

    Likewise Liam, great variety of locations and especially enjoyed 7812 up Eardington!

    Not directly related to the gala, but the Traffic Notices for next Saturday and Sunday on the Operations page on SVR Live suggest that 4079 is rostered on normal services.

    Yes, that was definitely a high point. Apparently it has had a new blastpipe fitted.

    Yes it’s been advertised on the SVR Facebook page as a last chance to ride behind 4079.

    They've sent a marketing email out about the extra 4079 trains. Someone has made a mistake though, as the email begins with the line "Thank you for visiting this weekend's Spring Steam Gala". However, I didn't go to the gala. Unfortunately I had family stuff going on at the weekend. I assume they've sent it out to their entire mailing list and not noticed that first line!

    Yes did notice that on the email, at least they have been proactive in sending it out though.

    Anyone that misses 4079, were looking at double digit operating days during the month long visit to the GWSR . In the meantime enjoy it at the Svr and the mid Hants gala first.

    That weekend will take a lot of beating. I did the Saturday and Sunday. Had some mind-blowing runs behind the manor and the castle. The SVR always delivers!

    My video and a few photos from a very enjoyable weekend at the gala, Pendennis certainly putting on a good show along with the rest of the lineup!
