At the north end of Bridgnorth Station. This is a Ruston & Hornsby 165 horsepower 0-4-0 diesel electric shunter built in 1957. The British Railways number is fictitious. It worked in industry at a variety of locations but ended up with Patent Shaft Steelworks at Wednesbury. It was acquired by the Severn Valley Railway in 1980 and was used for some years but then had a long period out of use and under repair. It returned to service in 2013. It is now privately owned but remains on the railway and is serviceable.
