A '''demonstration goods train ''' is run during the [[Spring Steam Gala]] and [[Autumn Steam Gala]] and offers a rare opportunity to see, and hear, a train of loose coupled (ie. unbraked) wagons. A variety of locos are used, with typically 12 to 18 wagons. As the wagons are mostly unbraked, a brake van (guard's van), is also used at the rear. When not in use, the wagons are usually stored in [[Bewdley Down Yard]].
For the 2015 Spring 2017 Autumn Steam Gala, members of the public were able to ride in the brake van of the goods train was hauled by . ==Demonstration Trains used at Severn Valley Steam Galas== ===2015 Spring Gala===*'''[[GWR Pannier 1501]] and consisted of:'''
