Steam Locomotives
Operational steam locomotives
All operational steam locomotives are based at Bridgnorth. From time to time locomotives may undergo short term repairs or be on hire to other railways. For up to date details of availability see the SVR website Operational Locomotives page.
Please note that loco directions can change at any time, sometimes for a day or week or so, and sometimes more long-term!
