[[File:S0839_AB2248_1967_David_Cooke.jpg|thumb|300ps|right|B.S.C. No.3 at Foley Park circa 1967 (David Cooke)]]
Access to the sidings from Kidderminster was by means of a ground frame. See [[Ground Frames at Foley Park]].
The BSC factory employed three Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST shunting locomotives<ref name=miac>[http://www.miac.org.uk/sugar.html Railways in Worcestershire]</ref>:
*British Sugar Corporation B.S.C. No.1, works no 1843/1925*British Sugar Corporation B.S.C. No.2, works no 1931/1927*British Sugar Corporation B.S.C. No.3, works no 2248/1948
All three were at Foley Park from new, with No. 3 arriving as part of a goods train on 1 May 1948.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Turley (2005)]] p. 76.</ref>. No. 2 was later transferred to the Wissington sugar factory at Kings Lynn, Norfolk in 1962. Steam working ended in January 1969, with No. 1 being sold for scrap in June 1969 and No 3 also being transferred to Wissington at the same time. No 2. was subsequently scrapped but No 3. is now preserved at the Plym Valley Railway.<ref group="note">Several websites including "[https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/andrew-barclay-works-no-2248-albert-0-4-0st-2/ Preserved British Locomotives]" refer to 2248 as being based at BSC's "''Worcester & Somerset plants''". Worcester presumably refers to Worcestershire, ie Foley Park; the reason for the reference to Somerset is unclear.</ref>
