This three-day gala had a terrific line up of locomotives that included Tornado, King Edward II, B12 8572, 7F 53808, Standard 4MT 80072 and a couple of GWR panniers.
Richard Taylor and Richard Allsopp arrived at Bewdley station on the Thursday to offload the stand items. On the Friday, the forecasted 'Beast from the East' Mark 2 began to make itself known as the temperature plunged. On Day 2, Brian Hall replaced Richard Allsopp. Come Day 3 on the Sunday we awoke to a 5 inch carpet of snow. Having seen 80072 arrive with a lightly occupied train, it was decided that conditions did not warrant mobilising the stand.
