::The draft guidance I put in the introductory paragraph was "...used regularly on scheduled passenger and freight services" so I guess they probably don't count as not being that regular. The same would apply to things like incoming bank holiday specials in the 50s and 60s - somewhere in SVR News is a Cam Camwell photo of an LMS Crab passing Foley Park with one which would certainly have been a good one for spotters at the time. Mind you I don't own the page - it's a Wiki so anyone can add whatever they want (within reason!). --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 23:29, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
:Diesels, I ponder? Did 25s etc make it onto the branch for coal traffic at Alveley or Stourport?
::Done (while you were asking I was already typing!), although there may have been other classes in addition to the 2 listed. I'll keep an eye out as I keep checking various books. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 17:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
:The ex-ROD 2-8-0s should get a listing as they're mentioned. I'm not clear when they were used, was it the GWR 3000 Class or other ex-RODs?
::Smith simply refers to them as ex-ROD 2-8-0s but gives no other details, and I haven't as yet found any other reference to them. I assume they would have been based at Shrewsbury in order to work to Ironbridge via the Branch. There is an useful page of [http://shedbashuk.blogspot.com/2014/08/shrewsbury-1957-1967.html shed bashes at Shrewsbury between 1957 and 1967] but although the key refers separately to ex-ROD and ex-WD locos, I can only find the latter listed. Can't add much else at the moment. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 17:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
