Note: LMS Ivatt Class 2 46512, classmate of 46443 and 46521, was acquired from Barry in March 1973 by a group of volunteers from the Strathspey Railway for restoration and use there. It arrived at Bewdley by road from Barry in summer 1973 as "...a temporary visitor, being destined for the Strathspey Railway". It was reported as being due to leave in 1975 having "...spent some time at Bewdley being repaired en route Barry to Aviemore". However this image in the David Rostance Collection suggests it was still present in November 1976. The actual date of leaving the SVR was not recorded in SVR News, although a footnote in the 1998 Stock Book suggests it moved to the Bulmers Railway Centre at Hereford (supported by a Flickr image of the loco there in 1981 and another undated image here) before a move to Scotland in 1982.. It was not included in any SVR Stock Book as an SVR locomotive, but is included here by virtue of the length of its 'residence'.
