This years SVR Spring Gala
This years SVR Spring Gala would see a GWR branchline flavour, with the inclusion of two visiting Panniers Tanks in the form of 6412 & 6430. Unfortuntely the main star of the show, 6990 Witherslack Hall was declared failed with a hot axle box, which would see it ruled out for the whole of the weekend. The loco is now expected to run over the easter weekend. The homefleet were as always out in full force, though 7802 'Bradley Manor' was also ruled out due to a leak on the boiler. With two of the main engines ruled out, this would see extra turns for the two big Bullieds 34053 & 34027. Even with the loss of the two GWR Locos, the gala still retained it's branchline feel, with the both panniers taking turns on the auto trains.
The weather was dull and gloomy, though conditions were slightly brighter on the Saturday. Regardless of the conditions it was an enjoyable event, with the double headed panniers being the highlight of the weekend and we was even able to have a ride along the line on the Saturday. Depsite the disappointing engine failure's the SVR have hosted an enjoyable gala and it was good to see the majority of trains running near to time.
I hope you enjoy the coverage.
