After the Swiss Railway Society bash, Allan and Ron had the rest of the weekend to travel on the Severn Valley Railway.  A bit of a photo-dump follows.  We start at Kidderminster on the Saturday evening.  I love the teak Gresley coaches.  A teak finish really looked good on coaches, but it is rather more difficult to model than a coat of green or red.

Taw Valley looks very smart in Southern goods ‘sunshine’ livery, but totally wrong for a rebuilt locomotive.  I think that some West Countries did get painted black, but only those that were overhauled during the war – most would have remained malachite green.

And on the Sunday, the day started very wet, but got out sunny (this is Allan’s report, though it sounds like one of Ron’s German epistles!)  It certainly started wet!

Then this strange yellow object arrived!!!  I know that some Scots want independence, but moving the border south to Kidderminster seems a little out of order?

Not everyone has a station named after them.  (On the 5 inch. line at Kidderminster.) Nice coaches and bluebells, though.
