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?

We'll certainly miss Raveningham Hall!

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

I can't wait to volunteer at the Severn Valley Railway it may be next year also I am going to miss getting pictures of Raveningham Hall

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

@johnd8892 2 года назад

Interesting video. RU-vid probably suggested this to me because I had previously responded in comments about the Australian slang usage of the term 'Ratbag' as well as my interest in steam locomotives around the world. Is there a common UK meaning and usage of the term 'Ratbag' that had the Hall nicknamed?

@adambridgewater 2 года назад

Just a nickname given to 6960 by SVR crews because of her name

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!

@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329 3 года назад

I’ve caught her for the spring steam gala earlier this year which is the last time I’ve caught her before it goes to Margate where 4464 and d9016 Gordon highlander are currently at

Won't it be put into service once the boiler is recertified? What fuel does it use?

Shame its going to the East, GWR locos should stay in the West Country

@michaelcampin1464 2 года назад

I agree all GWR engines should stay in the West. We can then keep our LNER locos for us

@mandymoo7406 3 года назад

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

@mattlander9119 2 года назад

The loading is nothing to do with the SVR

@@mattlander9119 and? its a matter of safety not whos in charge,having seen a hawser go i can assure you its not a pleasent happening,maybe a risk assessement then needs to be undertaken before others are left in charge.
