The SVR's DMU is owned and operated by [[The DMU Group (West Midlands)]]. The DMU Group operates five cars which can be used as separate 3-car and 2-car units, although historically they have regularly been combined to form a 5-car unit for purposes such as the summer Scenic Cruises. From time to time maintenance requirements have also resulted in operation as a 4-car unit as pictured above.
The first 2 powered driving cars, '''DMBS 51941''' and '''DMCL 52064''' were both withdrawn from BR service in November 1990.<ref name=OurUnits>[https://www.svr-dmu.org.uk/1_3_our-units.html DMU Group 'Our Units']</ref> They were acquired by the embryonic DMU Group and both arrived on the SVR by rail from Doncaster via Tyseley on 30 March 19901991, initially on a two-year loan. Having been re-liveried into original green livery, the 2-car set was formally commissioned on 13 October 1991. After a return trip from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth, the MD of Regional Railways presented the key to officers of the DMU Group.<ref>SVR News 102</ref>
