“On This Day” (years ago) Feb 26th. 2005, 2010 and 2012

We start with 6024 up the Lickey in 2005, then 66124 at Stourbridge Junction in 2010 and finally 42968 at Bewdley in 2012. Only the King in my gallery, I’ve missed out so much over the years! It takes up more time when I have to find the photos then edit and upload them, so much easier if they are already online.

Photos of 6023 in steam, Kidderminster 24/02/18

I called in at Kidderminster this afternoon hoping to see 6023 before it headed to Bridgnorth. It was outside the carriage works, but after about 15 minutes it steamed slowly away then ran backwards and forwards on both platform roads, probably for gauging purposes. Around 4pm after the arrival of a service train it headed away towards Bewdley and Bridgnorth. I did film it all but the first upload failed and the second attempt is only 25% complete, so here are some photos clipped from the video.

“On This Day” (years ago) Feb 24th. 2009, 2010, 2013 & 2014

First photo from 2009 at Water Orton and 56303, then Bromsgrove in 2010 sees 66105 running down and entering the old station. A treat at Stourbridge in 2014 was 37605 on a test train, thinking about it – haven’t seen a test train round here for ages! The SVR photo shows 1501 at Arley in 2013.

“On This Day” (years ago) Feb 21st. 2004, 2010 & 2015

A very limited choice today, plenty of cars at SVR 60s events but very few trains. When I have more time I must sort through the road vehicle photos. Firstly, E6005 is seen at Bewdley in 2004, then 43106, 46443 & 7812 in 2010 at Bewdley. Finally a video from the train of the site for the SVR Diesel Depot in 2015.
