    A ndrf ay t pn day! September 20th, 21st & 22nd 2013 sponsored by Welcome... From all of us here at the Severn Valley Railway a big welcome to our Autumn Steam Gala. The timetable for this event is printed in the centre of this brochure. We hope that you enjoy your weekend with us and, to Ex-Southern Railway help you plan your day, you may wish to ‘Lord Nelson’ class 4-6-0 note some of the key features. No. 850 Lord Nelson It’s been a long time coming, but making its debut on Severn Valley metals, prestigious Maunsell-designed express passenger locomotive No. 850 Lord Nelson adds an essence of Southern glamour to proceedings. Visitors Entering service on the Southern Railway in 1926, No. 850 accumulated 1,349,617 miles by the time it was withdrawn at Eastleigh in 1962. Affectionately known as ‘Nellie’, owned by the National Railway Museum, but residing on the Mid Hants Railway, this malachite green locomotive will be a ‘rare cop’ whilst in unfamiliar Great Western territory! Ex-Great Western Railway ‘Hall’ class 4-6-0 No. 4936 Kinlet Hall Only a stone’s throw away from its namesake, No. 4936 Kinlet Hall returns to the Severn Valley after a 4-year absence. Built in 1929, Kinlet Hall was based initially in the Northern Division at Chester and Shrewsbur y sheds, before venturing down to the South West where the locomotive was eventually withdrawn in 1963. ‘Kinlet’ carries the unique distinction of not only being saved from the scrapyard, but also surviving a fall into a bomb crater during a Luftwaffe raid in 1941.

Photo: Mervyn Allcock New Technology on Test Opening On 31st March, shortly after the Roundhouse - like the rest of the Shot... country - had gone into lockdown, Railview (a railway research company which uses Barrow Hill for testing) undertook filming of its latest prototype technology, mounted on a Mercedes Unimog road rail vehicle. This filming was obviously subject to social distancing requirements and risk assessments were undertaken prior to it taking place. The video that was created from this activity then formed the basis of an online webinar and Q&A session on 23rd April with representatives of the railway industry including Network Rail, a potential user of this technology. This shot was captured just before the class 08 was loaded for onward transit to a HNRC contract; it is pictured here with class 45 45060 and class 47 47769.

It was most successful. The accommodation and main centre were typical 1960s college space and served us well even INDUSTRIAL though the lecture room struggled to accommodate the numbers. The village was a delight – the ARCHAEOLOGY gardens of Cannington Court (now part of the college) were open to us and there were no less than five pubs to explore. The Conference Dinner was outside the capacity of the College so to Taunton Race NEWS 191 Course we went (regrettably not on a race night) and were served an excellent meal and at which the Winter 2019 AIA prizes were handed out (see page 19). The organization was faultless, well planned and well executed by members of the Somerset Industrial Archaeological Society led by Peter Daniel and Steve Miles. Steve established a precedent by Honorary President Prof Marilyn Palmer MBE bringing along his tribe in support – and support they did. Peter was also responsible for editing and leading the team that produced a revised version of the Somerset Gazetteer. Honorary Vice Presidents As usual John McGuiness had done a superb job as Conference Secretary and Steve Miles had Prof Angus Buchanan, Sir Neil Cossons OBE, Prof John Hume handled the bookings impeccably.

THE 1960's – MEMBERS' FILMS AND PHOTOS by Andrew Linham and John Reakes – 9 January The meeting at Wells Town hall on the 9th January 2018 took the form of contributions from two of our members - both recalling the railway scene of 40 to 50 years ago. First we had the privilege of seeing two cine films made by Andrew Linham which he had laboriously converted into digital format. Many of us had seen the first film before but not in its new format. Andrew explained that when he had made it using a new cine-camera in 1964/65, filming often from the first coach of the train, he always had a tape recorder with him. Much later he found the tapes and, with much skill, in recent years had been able to add the actual sound to many of the scenes which he had filmed. Thanks also to modern technology he had been to enhance the quality of both film and sound. First of all we were taken on a trip over the Cheddar Valley Line and then over the Somerset & Dorset branch from Highbridge to Evercreech Junction. From here we completed our journey over the S&DJR main line via Templecombe to Broadstone Junction and then over the SR on to Bournemouth Central.
