A visit to the Severn Valley Railway for their annual Autumn Steam Gala. This gala was to feature an impressive line up of motive power with eleven locomotives in steam, six from the railway's home fleet and five visiting locos. Two replacements had to be arranged though as both 6023 King Edward II & 5029 Nunney Castle were both unavailable so they were replaced by 6024 King Edward I & Prairie 4160.

The full lineup of locos were:

 - Ex-GWR 7800 Class 4-6-0 no.7812 'Erlestoke Manor'

 - Ex-BR Class 11 0-6-0D no.12099 (On shunting duties at Kidderminster)

Visiting locos:

 - 46443 slowly gets away from Highley on an empty stock movement.
