SVR Railcar Reunion

[mumrar]

I went along on Friday for some photos and the weather was sadly as bad as they forecast. I got a few different shots and I was surprised by how low the attendance was - something apparently mirrored on Saturday. The whole collection is here - http://www.mumrar.fotopic.net/c1872027.html

Picks of the shots are:

Very nice Photo's. I should have wondered down to the Railway and had no excuse.

Looks like 'Modernization' has hit the SVR with the Class 150 :P

I feel for the railway that the event was so poorly attended, I've never seen the weather make that much difference before, so it must be something else. To see them struggling to half fill a bubble car was quite bad. Anyway, it made it easier to get quieter station photos.

Shame to hear about the low attendance, great photos

I was planning on going to this event but problems trying to get to the railway using public transport and because there was a major event in cardiff which would have made getting home very difficult on the friday/saturday.

Another problem was that some people i know decided to go to the Pontypool & Blaenavon railway for their class 37 event

Nigel, good shots although I think those darn bushes spoil the 150 shots. I saw your shots on TP, but am yet to comment on there.

I have often hoped that the SVR could give a severe pruning to those bushes around Victoria bridge just to give us photographers some better shots
