- As the weather forecast for the weekend was poor I shot much of the northern end outside material on Friday 6th April.
As in previous years, this video contains lineside shots as well as indoor footage of works and signal box with the bonus of a look inside the boiler shop at Bridgnorth. A range of model layouts at Highley Engine House and Kidderminster Diesel Depot also appear.
My thanks to the lady on the desk at The Engine House and the staff at Bewdley for recovering the Rode microphone that I carelessly left on a bench at Bewdley.

I really appreciate your behind the scenes films. They‘re excellent!
Thank you Philip, my pleasure. I really look forward to April and the Open House event. So pleased that you enjoy the videos.
Aah, that's better! Just finished watching your excellent video, Alan. Only the paperwork to do now!
I bet that's a relief!
The looks behind the scenes are really great. - Heinz
Thank you Heinz.
Another thoroughly enjoyable video, thanks Alan. You have very ably captured the results of an obviously massive amount of preparatory work by the SVR as well as the model engineers. The explanatory labels in the workshops added a lot of interest for people like me who are not always very sure of what they are looking at! I too liked the Wharf layout. My favourite sequence has to be Bellerophon arriving at Kidderminster and your indoor shot of Gordon (? ex-LMR) reminded me of when we saw the loco in steam in the early 1980s. Lovely video. Kind regards, Bob.
Thanks Bob. There was indeed a great deal of preparatory work by all at SVR.
I was particularly pleased with Bellerophon leaving clouds of grey exhaust when departing Bewdley.
Kind regards
Alan
Very well done, i enjoyed that.
Thank you Gary. It's kind of you to say so. Alan
Went down to Bridgnorth today to see the king, what a beauty. Gary
The smokebox door looks awesome!! Eardington looking smarter too. :-)
Thank you. we're getting there!
Very enjoyable video thank you.
My pleasure, I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. Alan
Super video Alan. You seemed to like my mate Mike Corp's Heybridge Wharf layout.

Thanks Noel. Lovely layout indeed, we had quite a chat about Radstock and I mentioned Braysdown of course.
Regards Alan
Also 4930 hagley Hall is going to be back in steam in 2 years time looking for it
Nice video. Particularly likex the shot at 6:28. Is that just a walk up from Daniel’s Mill? Regards.
Thank you. Yes, you can see the roof of Daniel's Mill as the train crosses the viaduct.
2857 the 28xx engine is going to be used soon for the goods weekend to celebrate his 100th birthday celebration
Nice video regards James xxx

Parsound no probs
There are some fantastic models and dioramas shown in this video. Just where are these located Alan?
Hello Michael, good to hear from you. The layouts featured are all privately owned and come from all over the U.K.. Thank you for subscribing. Regards Alan
A dumb question,Alan. What is the purpose of the small "baffle" plates on some engines,on either side at the front? I noticed them just now, on Flying Scotsman. Brilliant info on the levers,and,the procedure.
They are smoke deflectors to help the crew see the line ahead.
@@keithalexander3386 Thank you,Keith,for taking the time to answer my "dumb question" That makes perfect sense,once ya know. I have an inquisitive mind,and,we're never too old to learn new stuff.
1:47 which boiler and smokebox is it? Looks somewhat like a terrier
Looks like 75069 is just about ready to return back to steam after been out of service right after the 1994 season
It'll be a few months yet I'm afraid.
Definitely needs a lot more doing before 75069 is back in service. The boiler needs finishing but after that, it just mostly needs to be reassembled.
possibly in time for the autumn steam gala mate because it says first gala appearance for 75069 autumn steam gala 2018
just had a quick look and its says 75069 first gala appearance for the autumn steam gala for 2018 season mate after the longer overhaul since it last ran in 1994
