Changes

In 1971 a derelict Mechanical Horse was purchased from Star Containers in Smethwick for the sum of £10 and moved to Bewdley to provide spares for the M.H.3. However on arrival it was discovered that this vehicle was the 6-ton (M.H.6) variety which had almost no interchangeable parts with the M.H.3. It lay derelict at Bewdley for a year before owners Mick Yarker and Paul Fathers decided to restore in its own right. The restoration was completed by 1974, with a picture of BNX 833 and the owners appearing in SVR News. It carried the fleet number C6314. Once restored it was used regularly around the site for clearing up and moving spares, even shunting two coaches at a time.<ref name=SVR33/> A picture of BNX 833 can also be seen on flickr [https://www.flickr.com/photos/aceanorak/8144663767 (External link)].
