Severn Valley Railway | GWR Saddle Tank 813 + 4930 Hagley Hall & LMS Stanier Mogul 13268 |
Originally built in 1900 by Hudswell Clarke for the Port Talbot Railway, this tiny yet mighty 0-6-0 saddle tank has lived an extraordinary life. From hauling coal trains and shunting wagons to surviving withdrawal in 1967, 813 has gone on to become the oldest operational locomotive on the SVR in 2026 at an incredible 126 years old.
Rescued for just £320 and lovingly restored multiple times, 813 has proven that size isn’t everything — even stepping in to haul passenger trains when the railway needed it most. After major repairs and a brand new saddle tank, it returned to traffic in late 2025 and now shines კვლავ in fresh GWR livery for 2026.
Also featured in this video are some true heavyweights of steam:
🔥 4930 Hagley Hall – a classic GWR Hall Class engine with over 1.2 million miles under its belt and a rich mainline and preservation career.
🔥 13268 – the last surviving LMS Stanier Mogul of its type, blending LMS design with Swindon influence and still going strong after decades in preservation.
From the smallest workhorse to powerful mainline performers, this gala perfectly captures the diversity and history of Britain’s steam heritage.
