LNER A3 No. 60103 Flying Scotsman charges beneath the bridge at Ruddington on the Great Central Railway (Nottingham), running for events. đźš‚đź’¨

A view that really shows off the size of the train and the spectacle that follows behind it. One of railway preservation’s true icons, and always a privilege to see it in action. 👀🔥

Flying Scotsman… and the countdown is nearly over 👀💨

An old shot from earlier this year before hopefully seeing 60103 again this week at the GCR. Nothing quite beats that first glimpse of Scotsman charging towards you through the steam.

Framed perfectly for one final gala shot… 🚂📸

75069 arriving at Bridgnorth during the SVR Spring Steam Gala, viewed through the footbridge overlooking the station throat. One of those angles you just can’t walk past without stopping for a shot.

One more from the gala… 👀🚂🔥

4930 Hagley Hall passing through the Severn Valley during the SVR Spring Steam Gala — proper heritage railway atmosphere with this one.

An unexpected bonus trip out today… 👀🚂

61306 Mayflower storming through the Shropshire countryside on The Welsh Marches Express — and my first time seeing this locomotive on the mainline.

Definitely worth heading out for. 🔥

Into the steam… 👀🔥🚂

71000 Duke of Gloucester departing Bridgnorth during the SVR Spring Steam Gala, completely surrounded by exhaust and drifting steam.

One of the most atmospheric moments from the whole weekend.

The Duke at full voice… 🔥🚂

71000 powering through the valley during the SVR Spring Steam Gala with a proper exhaust trail behind it.

One of those moments where you could hear it long before you saw it đź‘€

A weekend to remember… 👀🚂

The Severn Valley Railway Spring Steam Gala delivered once again — and having 71000 Duke of Gloucester at the front just made it that bit more special.

From clean run-bys to full-on exhaust moments, this one had a bit of everything.

A few favourites from across the weekend 📸🔥

A step back in time… 👀🚂

The Knotty Heritage Train in action today — original North Staffordshire Railway coaches from the 1870s, still running as they would have in Victorian times.

A few details from around the yard as well…

Something a little different to start the week.
