New Rexquote Super Railer at Highley with No 489 behind (2018)
No 489, L696MRM at Highley (2015)

The SVRSevern Valley Railway uses Road-Rail Vehicles, also referred to as RRVs or 'road railers', for permanent way work. RRVs are modified versions of road vehicles, in this case excavators, which retain their normal wheels with rubber tyres. They are also fitted with additional flanged steel wheels which can be raised and lowered as required, enabling them to run on rails. The flanged wheels are free-rolling with propulsion on the rails being provided by the conventional tyres.

The SVRSevern Valley Railway has two of these similar road railer excavators. Like the Komatsu 160, these road railers can be used with various buckets for excavating and moving spoil, or with a flail head for clearing trackside vegetation.

Case Poclain 688

The first to be acquired was Case-Poclain 688-BP Excavator No 489 (DVLA Registration L696MRM). It was first recorded on the SVRSevern Valley Railway at Kidderminster on 9 June 2007 and has been resident since.[1]

Rexquote Super Railer

The second, fleet number 4199, was acquired in 2017,[2] and is a Rexquote Super Railer, based on the Case 988 Super Railer[3]. It does not carry a DVLA registration number, but is allocated the UIC Number 99709 940193-4. It was formerly owned by TXM Plant.[4].
