Add mention of 4150.
[[Ruston and Hornsby 165hp Diesel Shunter D2957|Ruston and Hornsby Diesel Shunter D2957]] is the resident shunting locomotive, being used as necessary to shunt rolling stock under repair. In January and February 2015, the yard was contracted to Severn Trent Water as a staging ground for [[Severn_Valley_Railway_Timeline_2010-2019#2015|repairs to the Elan Valley Aqueduct]], which runs under the railway near [[Folly Point]].
 
The restoration of [[GWR Large Prairie 4150]] is has been ongoing in the yard since 1978, with a lack of funds and manpower since the 1980s resulting in slow progress. A new committee took over [[The 4150 Fund|the 4150 Fund]] in 2007, and progress has recently been progressing at a steady rate.
