2016: Western Weekend corrected (1015 vice 1013) and Severn Valley Venurer tour added
:On 26 August, [[GWR 7812 Erlestoke Manor|7812 Erlestoke Manor]] reached 100,000 miles in preservation.
:The August bank holiday staged a 'Western Weekend' to celebrate 40 years since the end of Class 52 'Western' diesels in BR service (the actual 40th anniversary, falling in February 2017, was considered a less favourable time to hold a gala). SVR resident [[BR Class 52 D1062 Western Courier | D1062 Western Courier]] was joined by TyseleyThe Diesel Traction Group's D1013 D1015 Western RangerChampion. '''September 2016''':On 8 September, LNER-design 60163 'Tornado' brought Vintage Trains' 'Severn Valley Venturer' from London Victoria to Bridgnorth. [[SR 34027 Taw Valley|34027 Taw Valley]] was due to return the tour to Bewdley, but suffered a brake pump problem and [[BR Class 50 50049 Defiance | 50049 Defiance]] ran instead. 66151 took over at Bewdley to haul 1Z75 back to London Victoria. The intention was for this to be a positioning move for Tornado to attend SVR's Pacific Power event from September 21-26 but unavailability of other locomotives meant that she instead ran to Bristol on 9 September to haul the Torbay Express, returning to SVR metals on September 12th.
