Welcome to Query Corner!
This is a location to ask (and answer!) about any gaps in the information available on the SVRSevern Valley Railway. We are interested in both personal recollections and of potential sources of information, such as old editions of the SVRSevern Valley Railway News, articles published in newspapers or magazines, or photographs you may have.
Please add to this page as questions come to mind. To add to a new question, put a short summary as a new section title (e.g. == Kidderminster Questions ==), and add some context below.
When replying to questions, you should add a signature to identify yourself, and to break up different replies - his can be done automatically by adding --~~~~ at the end of your reply, which will generate a signature for you when you save the page, or alternatively by clicking the add signature button on the editor (second button from the right).
It is possible to indent your reply by placing a colon at the start of each line, e.g. : Indented Text. Additional colons will indent your text further.

Ground Frames at Alveley, Foley Park, and Kidderminster
- It is known that Alveley Sidings had two ground frames, North and South, and that the South survived into preservation for some years. However, details are incredibly sketchy! I have seen photos of special trains at Alveley in early days, perhaps one of these includes them?
- Foley Park Sidings almost certainly had at least one, possibly two, ground frames for access. I have no information on these. I have also come across a photo showing two temporary GFs on the SVRSevern Valley Railway/BRBritish Rail or British Railways boundary - see Ground Frames at Foley Park - but nothing else is known.
- I've seen reference to a ground frame at Kidderminster Town station in early days, controlling the run round, before the box was built. Was this one GF or two, given the distance? Again, any information appreciated!

Which carriages are in regular use?
There's a good article in the latest SVRSevern Valley Railway News about the make up of the carriage rakes in use for the Diesel Gala.
Can that be taken as the current standard make up? It only show four carriages on the Severn Valley Limited and makes no mention of the Severn Valley Venturer.
If there are six sets, BRBritish Rail or British Railways Maroon, BRBritish Rail or British Railways Carmine & Cream, LMSLondon Midland & Scottish Railway, LNERLondon & North Eastern Railway, plus SVV & SVL and only four roads in the carriage shed, where are the others stored?
