Severn Valley Railway - Autumn Steam Gala 2024

[@wolfgangscheibe7568]

Good morning my friend, I have just seen your masterful shot. I am delighted. It couldn't be better. All the vehicles look very good. I think the many different photo points are fantastic. The views of the railway and the landscapes fascinate me. Absolutely brilliant, super. I hope you have a nice day. Best wishes, Wolfgang 👍👍😊

Thankyou so much my friend. I often think of you whilst selecting a spot that will capture lots of the landscape. I really enjoyed the goods train yesterday - lots of shunting, which I really liked 🙂

[@wolfgangscheibe7568]

@@StokesTrains I believe you. I think it all belongs together. Everything together is the perfect shot.👍😊

Thank you very much!

[@RobertJames-jv4oh]

Great footage! I especially enjoyed the shunting, in particular the shots of the wagons from the low angle. Marvellous!

[@StokesTrains]

Many thanks! The goods train was my favourite too 🤩

Thankyou very much! Glad you enjoyed the vid - not quite as dramatic as yours! 😂😂

@@StokesTrains it already feels like a very long time ago. Look at the leaves! 😢

[@StokesTrains]

@@RichardFarthingdale-yn6fv I know…. and no steam at all until the Christmas trains 😢 Winter sucks!!

[@anthonywarrener1881]

Great video, especially the opening scene !

[@StokesTrains]

Thankyou very much! Yes, that’s my favourite spot (the opening one), if you look at my other videos from the SVR you’ll see I stand there quite a lot! 😂

[@tangerinedream7211]

Some excellent shots there, I am going on Saturday, think it's going to be wet 😬, still adds to the atmosphere.😉

[@StokesTrains]

Absolutely! You’ll have a great time regardless. My favourite ever gala was about 15 years ago, Spring Gala - it snowed heavily overnight. ‘Big railway’ ground to a halt, roads were awful but the steam trains carried on regardless. Not many visitors, mainly just a few of us locals - like having a railway to myself! Loved passing time in the waiting rooms in front of the fire - atmospheric beyond belief! Sadly I hadn’t got into videoing stuff back then! Enjoy your day! 😃👍

I was at Bewdley yesterday as well.
