The Engine Shed, Severn Valley Railway
Open to the public last weekend, the engine shed, workshop and boiler shop keep the locomotives of the railway running. Here we see an example of the skills the railway has. The main frame of Stanier mogul no 42968 needed this new section welded in to replace a heavily corroded length. The right hand weld is complete. This unique engine will run again in 2020, possibly earlier if all goes well.

Severn Valley Railway - D2961
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.
