  • After running its final service on the Severn Valley Railway in July, 6960 Raveningham Hall departed the SVR to its new home in Margate.
    With expert planning from the Bridgnorth MPD team and all heavy lifting from Allelys, the locomotive lovingly nicknamed 'Ratbag' leaves the SVR for the final time - and we're definitely sad to see it leave!
    Watch as we say goodbye to Raveningham Hall - but not without some difficult with a winch! Who said it was easy lifting a 75 tonne, 77 year old locomotive?

    I served on this train as a steward in the 1980's for a company day out kind of thing.

    Very sad to see 6960 out of traffic. Hopefully she will get another turn again in years to come

    Great behind the scenes footage - it’s a shame you are so far from me as I’d live to get some SVR train footage for my channel!

  • @joewoodchuck3824

    Won't it be put into service once the boiler is recertified?

    it would appear you didnt use a snatch block on the first attempt to pull the loco onto the road wagon,if this is the case please dont do it again

    Don’t worry will be back to WSR soon. It’s only less Covid freedom.
