Severn Valley Railway - 2026 Spring Steam Gala
Some brief highlight from this amazing event. SVR is an absolute gem of a heritage line for those who haven't been.

steam turbine
Testing the steam release on my custom wood-fired dragster. Dumping pressure at 7 bar (100 PSI).
The Engineering:
Core: Free power turbine from a TS-20B jet turbo-starter.
Custom Build: Hand-fabricated nozzle assembly.
The Trick: Exhaust steam is injected directly into the chimney. This creates a massive vacuum effect (ejection), boosting the air draft in the firebox for maximum heat.
Don't worry about the ceiling plaster — it has survived worse things in this garage before I showed up! 😂
