Severn Valley Railway - Autumn Steam Gala 2019

Severn Valley Railway's premier enthusiast event of the year has come round once again and for this year's gala the weather couldn't of been better and with temperatures in the low 20's it brought everybody out !
The three star engine's were 34092 'City Of Wells' courtesy of the East Lancs Railway and it's fellow Southerner 'Q' Class No 30541 visiting from the Bluebell Railway and B.R Standard 4, 76017 making the trip up from the Mid Hants Railway ! All engines featured on the Friday but unfortunately the Q class was declared failed on Saturday night and was withdrawn from the gala !
The homefleet were in attendance but only four of the locos feature and they were B.R 75069, GWR 6960 'Raveningham Hall' which is on a long term loan from the WSR and 34027 'Taw Valley' which provided the best clag of the weekend ! Also another long term loan loco which is now part of the homefleet which featured was GWR 4144 which is originally based at Didcot Railway Centre.
So another five star gala from the Severn Valley Railway ! I hope you enjoy !

City of wells is definitely a star performer on the seven valley railway

I enjoyed visiting on Thursday. Those steam locomotives are just fascinating magic. Lovely countryside along the line too.

[@austinyingst5902]

Good Locations + Interesting, Handsome Trains = Great Video. Thanks.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Lovely shot of 75069 in the evening sun. 34092 leaving Bewdley looked terrific as well. Looking very nice on Eardington Bank as well.

[@harnettyrailways]

Once again great team work from you & Phil absolute hellfire from Taw Valley with that exhaust as 34027 accelerated away from Bewdley & the fine fettle run of Eardington bank from the Volcano in 34092 City of Wells. Richard

[@robmasterman]

Stunning work there Liam and Phil, the weather conditions were perfect for the Gala.

[@EMuksteam]

Brilliant video Liam and Phil. Fantastic selection of locations. You got some great clips with superb lighting. All round great coverage of the gala. Kind regards C&A

[@timyoyogeeson7339]

A truly lovely video without irritating 'music'. Steam on jointed track is best. Wonderful.

[@steamgent4592]

That opening shot of Raveningham Hall was really awesome!

[@matthewpalmer2049]

Visiting on the Saturday and Sunday, getting all the locos, except the Q class as it broke down 😢. But still had a great day and I think the video depicts of how great the weekend was, great vid

[@rjas365]

Very much enjoyed, thanks Liam and Phil. A wonderful selection of cleverly chosen locations, giving just the right lighting and showing the locos to best effect with the scenery - a superb example of that at 17:55. Your filming also makes the goods train something special. Kind regards, Bob.

[@richardhale2449]

There was absolutely nothing about this video I did not like. Wonderful stuff and thank you for sharing

[@SD1922]

Smashing! Some lovely light. Really enjoyed it.

[@stephenmanley1636]

[@Goffic]

I too was at this Gala making a token gesture at filming. The quality of your work makes me want to flog all the kit on Fleabay and give up.

[@User76575]

Wow awesome video the 4f was particularly impressive

[@tomholz9928]

[@johnwrigjt8658]

[@swearingkevo]

Great vid. The lighting in ALL clips was perfect. Who the hell gave you 2 dislikes.?..

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Try five, bot accounts probs ! Not bothered, it's all part of being on YT !

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

excellent video and that's a perfect weather for the gala liam and paul

[@sam8alex12]

A beautiful video ,was great to watch. many thanks to you both

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

I went here on Thursday and its the first time for both standard 4 locos to meet each other since steam days in the 1950s Ernie

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

compared to both west country Pacific's first time to seen each other sine both were mainline certified locos from 1988 and 1991

[@wam2610]

Thank you Liam, Taw Valley would have looked better still if she had been pulling the chocolate and cream rake, just saying :)

[@KenBrownekb71000duke]

Very enjoyable video Liam with some lovely clips, good variety and great weather too! Taw Valley put up a great smoke screen and loved the clips of City of Wells really digging in on the bank. Does it have a Giesl ejector fitted? The chimney sits just above the streamlined casing and the exhaust is pretty sharp, much more so than an unrebuilt version. Thanks, your vid makes for great viewing particularly on the 55" wide screen! Cheers mate.

[@dodge2322]

Why do most GWR locos click ?

[@Intrepid_Crusader1096]

It's like the Island of Sodor in real life.

[@doctordave12]

Did u have a lineside pass?? Excellent video 😄 bet those dislikes are either bots are ppl jealous that they can't be as good as u

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Cheers Mate, Yes lineside pass, still got in though not much time left on it.
