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.[4] It arrived at Bewdley by road from Barry in summer 1973 as "...a temporary visitor, being destined for the Strathspey Railway".[5] It was reported as being due to leave in 1975 having "...spent some time at Bewdley being repaired en route Barry to Aviemore".[6] 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.[7][8]. 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'.
