LMR local train

Monday, 31st October 2005

Severn Valley Railway

A second attempt at this one, the first had been greeted with "disappointing" weather! Our loco was SVR home based Stanier Mogul No. 42968 now in BR Black livery and coupled to a short rake of LMS coaches to recreate an Cross Country local train such as those that worked many secondary lines in the Midland region of BR. The weather on this occasion was also bad in the morning but brightened up for a while in the afternoon allowing two locations to be covered.

Weather rating 5/10.
