Changes

The loco shed includes a wheel drop which was formerly located at the Leicester Midland MPD (shed 15C). This was purchased and installed following an appeal for funds launched in [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 2000-2009#2009 | summer 2009]]. Installation involved digging a hole 6m deep, relocating a mains water pipe and pouring 200m³ of concrete.<ref>[http://www.georgelaw.co.uk/casestudies/actual/bridgnorthwheeldrop.aspx Bridgnorth Wheel Drop case study on George Law's web site]</ref> The wheel drop won the National Railway Heritage Awards FirstGroup Skills Award in 2010<ref>[http://nrha.org.uk/winners-2010/] NRHA Awards 2010</ref> The newly-installed wheel drop was used 'in anger' for the first time on 29 July 2010, when the trailing driving wheel set was removed from [[42968|Stanier mogul 42968]] to attend to loose axle boxes.<brref>SVR News 170/171</ref>This series of photos shows the wheel drop in use to remove a tender wheelset from [[GWR 7802 Bradley Manor]]
