Photos taken from a very grey and overcast Severn Valley Railway.

This was our first visit to the railway and I was very impressed with how much work had gone into getting the line back to full working order after the terrible floods in 2007. The other very impressive element of the line was the Engine House at Highley. The trains on view were good, there was lots for the kids to interract with and there was a great view of the railway.

Class 50 No. 50026 'Indomitable' looks as though it has had a catastrophic engine faliure as there is a large amount of oil on the bodywork!
