On the 1st and 2nd of November, the Severn Valley Railway is holding a mini gala.

The special event is being held in collaboration with the County of Salop Steam Engine Society at Bridgnorth station.

During the two days, there will be a lineup of over 10 road-going miniature steam engines.

There will be a great steam atmosphere from 10 am until 4 pm with loads to see over the weekend.

Further information can be found on Severn Valley Railway’s website.

“It will be a delight for us all to see such impressive examples of miniature engineering in operation, and such a wide variety of different ideas. In particular, the ‘Waterous’ engine; although many think it must be a one-off, this is in fact a model of a production run of over 2,000 examples that were constructed in Ontario for use in North America”.
