66763/50033

Glorious, Not-So-Glorious

 

GBRf 66763 ‘Severn Valley Railway’ trundles through Lye with 5Z33 Tyseley Through Sidings - Kidderminster SVR.

 

The shed was dragging 50033 ‘Glorious’ to the Severn Valley Railway for restoration work to be carried out before the ‘50s at 50’ gala in just 4 months time (Mission Impossible?!)

 

Behind 033 are three GBRf/Nacco aggregate hoppers for use on the Driver Experience at the SVR.

 

Not entirely pleased with this shot. Originally I intended to catch this at Moor St, but I didn’t fancy facing rush-hour crowds or the threat of being bowled over by a sneaky 172. Going on advice from my good friend Jordan, I chose Lye. However, with the light fading quickly, my intended shot was soon quashed.
