28 was placed into store at Kidderminster in 1949. 29, which acquired the nickname "the Gadget", was fitted with a spark arrester cowl in case working to the Admiralty Depot at Ditton Priors was required, and was then retained at Kidderminster for occasional shunting turns, her former duties having been taken over by Kidderminster-based GWR 2021 class locomotives<ref name=Barfield/>, at least four of which (2034, 2051, 2101 and 2144) were also fitted with spark arrestors for this purpose.
The Admiralty Depot only used diesel locomotives. A Planet diesel locomotive is believed to have been used by the RNAD but its dates of arrival and departure are not known. Later, three 'flameproof' 165hp [[Whyte notation|0-4-0]] diesel locomotives were supplied to RNAD Ditton Priors by Ruston and Hornsby of Lincoln in June 1952 (313390), March 1953 (319286) and May 1955.<ref>[https://chasewaterstuff.wordpress.com/2010/11/06/some-early-lines-cleobury-mortimer-and-ditton-priors-light-railway/ Some Early Lines – Cleobury Mortimer and Ditton Priors Light Railway, 6 November 2010 (a blog)] (Retrieved 18 September 2018)</ref>Locomotives 313390 (DP35) and 319286 are similar to the Ruston 165DMs present on the SVR, and survive in preservation.
