Thought I would try Kidderminster today, my luck was in – 43106 was working a service train and was about to depart. The signals were set as I headed for the footbridge, although there was a change of plan for a quick movement of an 08 shunter, giving me time to check the camera settings.

Before the “Pig” departed, 5643, recently arrived from Llangollen, passed by with 813 and waited in the loop adjacent to the carriage shed. 43106 eventually departed, looking & sounding very good, leaving 41241 & 1744 at the station.

Heading round to the SVR car park, I managed some photos of 41241 (not in steam) & 1744, which was in the process of being unloaded from the transporter.
