Hi all,
I went to the Severn Valley Railway last week end to see 46115 “Scots Guardsman” at the 200 year celebrations hoping to get a good shot of it at Bewdley having got few at Kidderminster. Unfortunately little did I know that it would be turned whilst I waited at Bewdley after travelling by bus from Kidderminster only for it to come late and tender first thus almost missing my return bus back to get home!.
Anyway here are two pictures, one of Ex GWR 0-4-2 tank engine 1450 working the 13.50 Kidderminster Arley push pull auto service, this was where I expected to get picture of 46115. The second shot is of the fireman giving up the single line token to the signalman at Bewdley North Signal box for the section between Arley and here at Bewdley North. The engine is 4930 Hall Class 4-6-0 “Hagley Hall” in pristine condition after a recent overhaul working an afternoon Hampton Loade Kidderminster train. Regards Ledg.
