Very cool nice share 👍🏻🚂
60009 it's such a handsome locomotive
That sound at 20 mins 🔥
This is a fantastic video! No music, little conversation, beautiful scenery, gorgeous trains, and the lovely chuffing and whistling sounds of steam locomotives! Fantastic! Just fantastic! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us! The trains themselves are beautifully restored. They look new! There is some real love and dedication there. Spectacular! ❤️❤️❤️
When I was a little boy, about a thousand years ago it seems now (but really only about 65 years ago), my father used to take me to the train depot in Sacramento, California, to watch the "puffer bellies" as I called them come into the station. I have vague memories of my maternal Grandma coming to visit on them (my maternal grandmother reninded me of the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz! Scary old bat!). I think I was around 3 or 4. When they chugged up to the platform and stopped, I'd hide behind and between my dad's legs, hanging onto his pant legs, because they blew big, noisy, billowing clouds of steam and a lot of white particles to clear their pipes and that scared the piss out me, but I loved seeing the great smoking beasts! Oh, yeah, and my plump little Granny, too, when she came to town! Mustn't forget my beloved Granny!
Thanks again! What a fabulous video!
Thanks! Glad that you've enjoyed our video and that it's bought back some happy (I think!) memories.
I was six or seven when I saw my first working steam train (at Bridgnorth station on the railway featured on the video) and they always used to frighten me when whistling or blowing steam out of the cylinder drain-cocks, but particularly when the safety valves lifted to release the steam pressure from the boiler. That used to make my ears ring!
Most restored steam locomotives in the UK are usually always kept in immaculate condition, and the carriages on the Severn Valley Railway are always smartly turned out now too, thanks to the carriage storage shed that was opened in the year 2000. Before that some of them were beginning to show the effects of being kept outside in all weathers.
But 149 buffet car changed to Maroon London Midland Scottish for now since 16 years
Great!
Brought back some good memories.
But I had forgotten Taw Valley painted red...
Thanks for uploading
Glad you enjoyed the video. The red paint job was applied for a UK tour starting from Kings Cross on the 8th July 2000 promoting the fourth Harry Potter book. I'd taken some non-digital footage of the loco on the SVR carrying green 'Hogwarts Express' nameplates but these had been removed sometime before the 2001 September gala.
When's is this?
im my opinion the best heritage railway in britain
Indeed! Although I'm biased as I live nearby. What I like about the SVR is the range of pre-nationalisation rolling stock. Not many other heritage railways can provide rakes of GWR, LMS and LNER carriages.
9351 Collect Mogul came back to SVR service since autumn 2005
Breaking news duchess of Sutherland is coming here at the seven valley railway for the 6th time
Another visitor yet to be announced
Pannier tank 9466 now announced as the second visitor for the 2021 Autumn gala. Another loco' that can be seen on my video here a few times!
a@@davidcattell7311 yeah and 6233 is no longer available to visit the seven valley railway its now been replaced by 4953 pitchford hall
@@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329 Yes. Not seen 4953 on the SVR before. It did visit Bewdley on shuttle services from Birmingham in 2007 after the line to Bridgnorth was closed by flooding. I stayed away as I expected to find large crowds around the Rifle Range area.
Yeah
Where did the terrier visted from?
Terrier 32678 (originally LB&SCR No. 78 KNOWLE) was visiting from the Kent & East Sussex Railway, where it's recently returned to steam (in post war SR Livery as 2678) after overhaul.
This Terrier was sold to Butlins after withdrawal by British Railways in 1963 and displayed at their Minehead holiday camp. It was probably the first steam loco I ever saw, as I have a photograph of me as a baby taken in front of this loco. Always been a bit disappointed that my family never took a photo of 6229 DUCHESS OF HAMILTON at the same time!
@@davidcattell7311 wow thanks for the info🙏🏻
Pannier Tanks, 7714 came back to service since 2017 after overhaul.
5764 as LT95 maroon livery
♥️‼️‼️‼️
10:48 Who owned 9466 at this time?
Still owned by Dennis Howells in those days, I think
@@davidcattell7311 RIP Dennis😇🙏🏻
46443 and 48773 but right on display in Highley for now until we have to wait.
Wow the 2857 wasn't there for any
2857's boiler ticket expired in February 1995 and the loco' didn't return to steam until July 2011, so wasn't working during the period we filmed these scenes
@@davidcattell7311 Oh I thought it ran out in 2006
@@jakeandfriends3554 I remember it being painted in late crest BR black livery for the last couple of years in traffic (1992 & 1993 seasons), well before I started taking video.
@@davidcattell7311 cool never relisted it was any but gwr green in presavation
@@jakeandfriends3554 Yes. It was painted BR black when it visited the East Lancs Railway for their 25th anniversary of the end of steam event in July & August 1993. Didcot's 3822 was also present and I've got photo's of the two ex-Great Western Railway 2-8-0's double-heading out of Bury.
