41313โs First Visit to the Severn Valley Railway | Autumn Steam Gala | Arrives, Propels & TURNS! |
The Severn Valley Railwayโs Autumn Steam Gala welcomed a very special visitor in the shape of Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2T No. 41313, appearing courtesy of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
This visit marked several important milestones: it was 41313โs first-ever appearance at the Severn Valley Railway, the first visit by an Isle of Wight-based locomotive to the SVR, and only the third Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2 tank locomotive to visit the railway in preservation.
In this video, we see 41313 arrive at Kidderminster Town with a shuttle service from Highley, bringing its train into the station as part of the busy Autumn Steam Gala operation. The locomotive then propels the stock into the carriage sidings at Kidderminster before heading for the turntable.
41313 then gets a chance to make several movements on the turntable โ seemingly one more turn than was strictly required for operational purposes! There was, Iโm sure, a perfectly good reason for the additional movement, but whatever the reason, it made for some great footage of this visiting Ivatt tank in action.
The SVR Autumn Steam Gala, held from Thursday 17 to Sunday 20 September, brought together an impressive line-up of visiting and home-fleet locomotives, including:
๐ LMS Ivatt Class 2 No. 41313
๐ BR(W) Pannier Tank No. 9681
๐ GWR 2884 Class No. 3850
๐ LMS Royal Scot No. 46115 Scots Guardsman
๐ GWR 813
๐ GWR Prairie Tank No. 4150
๐ GWR 1450
๐ BR Pannier Tank No. 7714
๐ LMS No. 13268
๐ BR Standard Class 4 No. 75069
With a busy four-day timetable between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth, the Autumn Steam Gala provided plenty of opportunities to see both visiting and resident locomotives at work across the Severn Valley.
A huge thank you to the Severn Valley Railway and Isle of Wight Steam Railway for making this memorable visit by 41313 possible.
