Rebuild in Action! 69014 Starts Work at SVR Gala — Face to Face with 56094

Experience the action from ground level at the Severn Valley Railway Diesel Gala, filmed entirely from within the grounds of Kidderminster Town Station! This video brings you right into the heart of the event — with a fan’s perspective of the sights, sounds, and unforgettable moments of the day.

The star of the show is undoubtedly 69014 ‘EMD Longport’, making its first-ever revenue-earning appearance in a stunning Kestrel-inspired heritage livery. The video opens with a symbolic face-off between 56094 and 69014, perfectly capturing the “before and after” of the Class 69 rebuild process — blending Class 56 frames with Class 66 power.

To give you a fresh view, I filmed 69014’s departure from a different angle — not just to catch the loco, but to capture the crowd’s buzz and excitement, just as a true railfan would experience it.

Also featured in this video:
🚂 Class 50 legends 50033 ‘Glorious’ & 50049 ‘Defiance’ in action
🚂 58023 ‘The Bone’, a rare and welcome sight
🚂 A mix of guest and home fleet locomotives, delivering pure diesel thrash throughout the day

Whether you’re here for the sound, the history, or the sheer power on display — this video has something for every enthusiast!
