2857 with a demonstration goods train at the 2018 Goods Gala.

A demonstration goods train is often run during the Spring Steam Gala and Autumn Steam Gala and offers a rare opportunity to see, and hear, a train of loose coupled (i.e. unbraked) goods wagons from the SVR-based fleet. A variety of locos are used, with typically 12 to 18 wagons. As the wagons are mostly unbraked, a brake van (guard's van) is also used at the rear. When not in use, the wagons are usually stored in Bewdley Down Yard.
