Had everything gone to plan, there would have been 4 locos photographed. We missed the Class 47 as it ran early and after waiting over 2 hours to see 60096 the cold beat us and we went home, not waiting for the Corby to Margam or the test train, which was apparently cancelled!
There are a couple of DMU photos, but I’m sure you prefer the 60…
Had our trip to Arley & back on the DMU today. 7812 was on the diner & 46443 on the other train. Rather a dull weekend again, looking forward to the warmer weather so that we can sit outside at the stations.
Making the most of the DMU, as we approached Bewdley……
7812 worked the first train from Kidderminster, the DMU the second. D8059 was used used to move stock and was seen at Arley.
Diesels at Arley.
A ride from Bewdley to Arley & back on the “buzz”, or DMU, should I say. 7812 was working the other service. Plenty of people travelling on both trains.
At Arley, D8059 was waiting to run round a Siphon & coach 9220 before returning to Bewdley.
Photos will be sorted later.
I started it a year or two ago, but it fell by the wayside last year. This year I will try it again & hopefully keep it updated with local events. It would be wrong to copy information from other forums & news groups etc. that I belong to, so information will only be that which is publicly available.
Another use will be to show the dates on which photos were taken, those dates are the ones with red text, so they will stand out well. Only 1 date in February so far, but more in January – most of which are the SVR photos.

I’d get more done if I didn’t spend time playing with these “distractions”, wouldn’t I??
I’d not seen 37194 before, so it was worth buying a ticket to Droitwich to see this stock working from Norwich to Long Marston. Fortunately, the empty steel working from Round Oak to Margam – 6V07, was due before my train back home, only a 66 but at least not a DMU!
Had to make sure I got some signals in the shot!
Arley & back on the DMU again today with a couple of photos taken from the DMU. The end of another month.
And not a steamer in sight…
The DMU was working the second service off Kidderminster & we travelled to on it to The Engine House, returning behind 4566.
The DMU is seen here…
Bewdley to Arley & back for us again today. With the diner running, 3 locos were in action – 7812, 43106 & 46443. I was hoping for a photo at Arley as the diner arrived, but it was delayed and waited at Bewdley for our train from Arley to arrive.
A different shot, for a change…
Just 3 photos today, although we did have a ride to Arley & back.
Had to be 43106 here, as the Manor was tender-first
