Class 17 now SVR based
The SVR normally operates using a [[Diesel Locomotives | working fleet]] drawn from locomotives based on the railway. From time to time it has been necessary to hire in locomotives from other railways to cover shortages arising from failures or delayed overhauls.

Locomotives which have spent a period on hire at the SVR include (potentially incomplete list):
