The restoration of GWR 60906 was one of the items featured in an episode of the 2001 TV series “[[List of film and TV productions filmed on the Severn Valley Railway#TV Documentary | Off the Rails]]” featuring Vince Henderson. The restoration began in summer 2000 with the filming taking place in October 2000. The chassis was found to be in generally good condition apart from the headstocks which had been damaged by many years of rough shunting and required welding. The floor, door and end panels all required replacement, as did all the springs.<ref name=SVR133/> The overhaul was eventually completed in May 2002 after repainting in GWR Engineer’s black livery, including branding to 'Shrewsbury Division' which was responsible for the original Severn Valley Branch.<ref>SVR News 136/139</ref> |
