The article cites a photo of W7W burnt out in the sidings at Bridgnorth, following a fire on 10 August 1956. Various other sites state that W10W caught fire at Bridgnorth on 9 March 1956 ([http://www.greatwestern.org.uk/aec4.htm e.g. this site]), but I can find no mention of W7W catching fire - the linked site shows a withdrawl date of Jan 1959, which seems optimistic if it suffered a "serious fire" in 1957. Which of the fire claims is correct? I do note that quite a number did manage to catch fire, so maybe the answer is both! --[[User:Danny252|Danny252]] ([[User talk:Danny252|talk]]) 23:17, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
: [http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&id=7&type=DMU&loco=7 BR Database] shows shed allocations for W7W in 1957 and 1958, suggesting any fire wasn't too serious --[[User:Danny252|Danny252]] ([[User talk:Danny252|talk]]) 23:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
:: The photo in SVR News shows a railcar which certainly matches the description 'destroyed'. I think the caption is probably incorrect and have edited the wording accordingly. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 07:39, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
