    And having now sampled it for haulage for the first time, it goes as good as it looks!

    I always thought it would have been good it 9351 had a WSR shirt button rather than GWR livery.

    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 years. Last time I saw it was at York station in about 2012 so it's been a long time! All the visitors were good - first time I'd seen 9681 and it was good to see 41313 on the first stage of its tour of the Autumn galas. 4150 proved itself more than capable of doing the business and I'm sure it will look great when fully painted.

    Special mention must go to 813 - what a little star that loco is. I've seen it many time, both on the SVR and on visits elsewhere but I don't think I've travelled behind it with a 4 coach rake before. I was most impressed with its performance.

    Thanks as ever to all at the Severn Valley for a great day out!
