Erlestoke manor has been fine? It’s just been on loan for summer. It’s Bradley you have to worry about. Watch the space though. Bradders will be back soon.
@@oldtraffordeaststand6314 well its owned by the Erlestoke manor fund based at the SVR. Technically one of the home fleet. However they lend it out to get money to maintain it. Donations arent enough to make these steam breathing beauties alive
@@oldtraffordeaststand6314 She'll be on the SVR until May 2025. Then she's going back to the WSR on a more long term stay, until 2027. In the meantime, Bradley Manor will still be SVR based. From the Erlestoke Manor Fund's statement, the aim is to be able to get enough money to a) overhaul the pair of them when their tickets expire and b) support the overhaul for GWR Large Prairie no. 5164, whom they acquired last year after its preservation group ran out of money.
Kudos to the WSR and its cleaners.
That's the way to return a loco that's been on loan!

Good to see her back, even ifits just for a few months.
Until May 2025 from what I’ve seen
GWR Manors coming back to severn valley railway residents for early 2025 next year
Sad to see it leave my local railway, even if its temporary. What a loco!
Very nice, like!!!
Family visits for Christmas! I like it, will this be in action for Christmas trains ?
Good to see it back at the SVR! Wonder how long it’ll last , this time

@ I mean how long will it last at SVR again? Doesn’t seem to stick around too long
