[[File: BR_1087_30_20150322.jpg |thumb|200px|right| Manufacturer's plate showing Works No 60 of 1960]]It is currently believed that the crane still existing on the SVR is RS 1087, but carrying the number [[Cowans Sheldon 30-ton steam crane RS 1091|RS 1091]], which formerly belonged to another crane owned by the SVR, which was cut up in 2010.The crane at Bridgnorth bears a manufacturer's plate showing Works No 60 of 1960 which is consistent with RS 1087 (RS 1091 was Works No 65 of 1960).
