- 2999 Lady of Legend has been with the Severn Valley Railway for a few week's now from Didcot Railway Centre, preparing for the Spring Steam Up.
But how do you get a locomotive ready for it's starring role? You take it for a load test over the sixteen-mile line with a beautiful selection of GWR brown and cream coaches, the first time it's been beyond the 1/4 mile demonstration line in Oxfordshire.
Our team have been working hard and you can now see, first hand, the fruits of their labour.
An unbelievable effort, from the team at Bridgnorth MPD and those at Didcot Railway Centre.

A new build Saint great! The straight footplate and steps look wonderful. To think many of the Saints before scrapping ended up on goods and mixed traffic, so its a treat to see GWR coaches behind a great Lady. Thanks
She was a wonderful guest for our Steam Up!
This is fantastic I will see you there on April 18th
So nice to see a Saint running elsewhere than on my layout. ( I have two, including "Saint David"!) Hats off to both Didcot and the SVR.
You can come visit her on the Severn Valley Railway: bit.ly/LadyOfLegendExtraDates
tender-first running with a Churchward cab and a low tender : lots of fresh air all round.
That's why he's watering down the coal, loads of coal dust in yer mush!
Yes, Churchward wasn't known for considering the comfort of footplate crew.
‘Brilliant!’ does not begin to cover it really😊😊😊
How about 'Magnificent'?
As someone who is actually a Didcot resident, lady of legend is a pride to rail enthusiasts along the great Western mainline and beyond, and as much as I like the DRC, it is far too small, especially for locomotives in our collection that can really put on a grand show!
It deserves its own railway with the stock they have!
I remember going to Didcot on the first weekend of public running and feeling like an over-excited 7 year old all over again as she came into view that Saturday morning along the demo line! I am delighted she will be stretching her legs now on the SVR, I just wish I could get down myself 🤷🏻♂️🍻
Just disgraceful that Didcot have ceased any interest in operating their locos on the mainline. Didcot is too small for a loco like the saint.
We'd love to welcome you! bit.ly/LadyOfLegendExtraDates
@@SevernValleyRailwayOfficial: and we’d love to come. Alas we are over the other side of the country and spare time is precious at the moment. Hopefully we can sort something out out at some point though 👍
That engine looks great first time I saw her she was in bits fantastic she's alive great video guys 😀😀
A magnificent machine! bit.ly/LadyOfLegendExtraDates

She's an incredible machine! bit.ly/LadyOfLegendExtraDates
The Saint - What a Cool lookin Loco - Stunnin!! 👍🏻
Agreed!
Great video love the SVR and the volunteers. Just wanna say a massive thank you to all the staff and volunteers down there for keeping the railway alive. I hope i can join them soon as a junior volunteer
Thank you for your kind words :)
@@SevernValleyRailwayOfficial its the truth. Could you do a youtube video please explaning how the station tickets for non train travelers works as im a bit confused.
Saw her on the "cams today, she looks fabulous!
Even better in real life!
A nice done video :)
SUPERB... Well done everyone.
David and Lily Reading.
I've seen the videos of her running she looks amazing! Fantastic effort all around. It's weird to think this loco is never than all the GWR IET's and electrostars.
She looks amazing. Didcot Railway Centre have done a superb job :)
Magnificent looking locomotive sounds great, would love ❤️ to see Lady Of Legend running on the main line on the cathedral express say between between Worcester Oxford Didcot and return ? I can 😁 dream can't I just a comment, well done everyone who keep these magnificent steam locomotive s alive and running for people to enjoy.
Why not come join us for one of Lady of Legend's extra dates? bit.ly/LadyOfLegendExtraDates
Sadly raveningham hall will be running for the last time on the gala because this year is the last one by that loco
Why ?
@@deathmisser85 Boiler ticket expires this year
@@18EStudios Ah ok thank you for the information.
@@deathmisser85 no problem
They because its freezing cold frosty started first thing this morning today.
Hi I just wanted to know the date of the spring steam up gala as I was thinking about coming down to Kidderminster Station and taking a few photos of the Locomotives
Tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday
@@citizenerased1992 OK thanks I am going for a walk down by the reservoir so I will be able to get a few photos of the trains going past
Sadly, according to the website, 2999 has developed a fault and will be replaced by 75069 today.
It'll be back this week! :) bit.ly/LadyOfLegendExtraDates
Is loco 1501 ok because she was in steam yesterday but being shunted in bridgenorth sheds this morning
Spare engine
@@hux100 why is it in the sheds though like behind the roller doors
@@SVRSteam either just being kept inside or having some work done
Wasn’t she rebuilt into a saint class?
well, strictly speaking it's a rebuilt Hall
@@AndreiTupolev Ironic coz the first Hall was a rebuilt Saint :)
@@18EStudios What is the main differences between the two? The Saints driving wheels look a bit bigger and obvs smaller cab and tender.
@@simmo151 The tender is actually normal sized; the loco is just tall due to its large drive wheels. The cabs on the Saints are different to that on the Halls and another visual difference is the front end. 2999 has a straight running board whereas Halls have curved running boards although some Saints were built with curved running boards.
Every foomer in the USA waifu lmao
Good job she look nice
She looks amazing :)
