==SVR locos at other railways==
*From 'Severn Valley Railway memories' by Christopher Magner, p47 (Self published, 1997, no ISBN number) "Good publicity was obtained [in 1966] when BBC television made a film on the preservation scheme for the Today programme"
*From Tony Willmore in 2022: "I used to be involved with the Western diesels and I can think of other filming jobs we did with them. There was a "Don't forget to tell Sid" British Gas advert [1986] filmed at Bewdley with D1062. Then there was TV drama filmed at Bridgnorth one evening with D1062 but when the programme appeared the footage had not been used. I also remember BBC Midlands Today being at Bridgnorth one evening on the anniversary of the line's closure, with suitable renumbered Pannier Tanks working a train."
