  It's
December -
and the prospect of a fine sunny afternoon once the morning mist and fog
had cleared - so I headed for the southern part of the Severn Valley
Railway (again!) to see what was going on.
 At
first, inevitably - everything was the wrong way round. Of the five locos
in action, only two were facing the right way up the bank from Bewdley to
Foley Park tunnel - fortunately, these would be the last two before the
sun dipped below the hill. So, after a false start near Northwood, I took
camera and tripod to the southernmost point of the line. No further
explanation is required - enjoy the pictures!

Train in the landscape Taw Valley -
alias 34036 "Westward Ho" - canters up the bank
799k; 51 seconds |

45110 ...makes light work of its
8-coach train
1,414k; 1m 04s |
 |
1501... ...bustles up the bank (to
an accompaniment of the roar of a microlight engine, taking off in
the adjacent field. The sound is mostly drowned out by 1501's
exhaust; the shadow of the plane clips the last coach - watch
carefully!)
1,282k; 55s |

Light's gone... ...but the trains
still run. 34036 drifts down the bank, then a little while later
5164 hurries past in the gathering dusk
1,704k; 1m 18s |
