Case Poclain and Rexquote Road Railers
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
1994-built Case-Poclain 688-BP Excavator No 489 (DVLA Registration L696MRM) was first recorded on the SVRSevern Valley Railway at Kidderminster on 9 June 2007 and has been resident since.[1] Despite its age, its simple nature means it still provides useful service to the Permanent Way team.
Rexquote Super Railer
Rexquote Super Railer, fleet number 4199, is based on the Case 988 Super Railer.[2] It does not carry a DVLA registration number, but is allocated the UIC Number 99709 940193-4.
It was formerly owned by TXM Plant.[3] It was acquired by the SVRSevern Valley Railway in 2017.[4] It was sold in November 2022 to the Ribble Valley Railway after the purchase of the Komatsu 160 road railer, and left the Railway on 24 January 2023.
