*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_2251_Class GWR 2251 Class]''': Collett's 2251 Class 0-6-0 was introduced in 1930 as a replacement for the 'Dean Goods'. The 2251 class was intended for medium-powered freight duties with 120 being built by 1948. Members of the class saw service on the Branch.<ref name=Nabarro/>. The only surviving member of the class, [GWR 2251 Class 3205|3205] was the first locomotive to arrive on the SVR in preservation, remaining resident for the next 20 years.

*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_4300_Class GWR 4300 Class]''': Although designated a mixed traffic locomotive, Churchward's GWR 4300 class 2-6-0 (built 1911–1932) was commonly seen on freight duties post-World War 2.

*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_7800_Class GWR 7800 'Manor' Class]''': Although the 4300 Class was the most commonly used tender locomotive for goods working on the Branch post-War, Collett's GWR 7800 Manor class 4-6-0 was also used for mixed freight working from time to time.<ref name=Nabarro/> It was designed as a lighter weight mixed traffic locomotive with better route availability (Blue) than the heavier Halls and Granges (Red). The SVR is home to three preserved examples, [[7802|7802 Bradley Manor]], [[7812|7812 Erlestoke Manor]] and [[7819|7819 Hinton Manor]].
*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BR_Standard_Class_9F BR Standard Class 9F]''': In the final years of the Branch, heavy coal trains to the Ironbridge and Stourport power stations were occasional worked by a BR Standard 9F.<ref name=Nabarro/>. Two 9Fs, [[BR Standard 9F 92212|92212]] and [[BR Standard 9F 92214|92214]], have spent periods on hire to the SVR in preservation.
