SVR Photoshoot Friday 24 February 2024, Bewdley.

Here’s my favourite photo from Friday evening’s photoshoot at Bewdley Station on the Severn Valley Railway. It’s 7812 Erkestoke Manor, one of the engines from the Erlestoke Manor Fund who I had the pleasure of doing some marketing for a few years back.
