Old Videos. 11/06/16. 2857, 7802, D8188 & 7812 at Arley
Here are some more old videos, mostly at Arley but I do travel to Highley & back. It was fun trying to film the birds flying in and out of their “nest”.
Old Video, 18/10/15. 60163, 2857 & 46100, also 5 Sheds.
I haven’t time to add photos to the galleries at the moment so this is just a posting for the video.
My day started at Old Hill with 66113 on 6P04 Kidderminster – Crewe Basford Hall. Only just got to the station in time to see it. Then off to Arley to film 60163 & 2857. After that, near the old Rifle Range Halt to see 60163 & 46100. Then at Kidderminster, 4 x 66s in a convoy, 66114, 66169, 66051 & 66238 on 0N44 Bescot – Margam. Royal Scot can be heard running round in the background and soon after is seen departing with a train to Bridgnorth. Final clip shows the diesel depot with a Class 50 in the background.

Making the most of decent weather and some trains to see, another visit to Kidderminster. Filling in time with the unit, but always hoping the train from Bewdley would appear in the background as I was filming, but not this time.

A trip to Kidderminster on Christmas Eve to film a couple of the Santa trains. As 43106 departed, I noticed D9551 at the other platform, would I see that in action as well???

Have made a donation to Severn Valley Railway appeal from some of my ad revenue
My YouTube channel is getting about 700 views a day at the moment, but with no new videos to add that number will probably decrease over the coming weeks. Estimated revenue is £11.49 as I type this, but as I receive no payment until the revenue passes £60 it will be many months before it reaches my bank account. So today I made a small donation, as every little helps, as they say.
The above is from what “you” are helping to raise from viewing my videos.
I will make my own donation sometime – but the amount is just for me to know!
The most popular videos over the past 48 hours are:-
Will be interesting to see how that changes over coming weeks, as the top one will drop down the list soon and others will shuffle around as older videos suddenly become more popular, for whatever reason.
In the meantime, keep watching:-

I didn’t know they were running to Reading in the morning, was actually out walking the dog as they passed by not very far away – didn’t hear them though. Fortunately they returned at a convenient time for me to see them. Running as 5Z50 Reading to Kidderminster Severn Valley Railway.
