==D2957 in Preservation==
[[Image:D2957STW.jpg |thumb|350px|left| D2957 with STW equipment]]319290 was the first Ruston and Hornsby shunter acquired by the S, and is VR, being purchased from B.I.P by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]] in March 1972. Originally the locomotive had no number other than its works number 319290, although it was commonly referred to as the “Red Ruston”. It saw regular use in the SVR’s early days on Engineers’ trains, but now acts as yard shunter in [[Bewdley Down Yard]] where it carries a BR livery with the fictitious number D2957. It is maintained by the [[Bewdley Carriage & Wagon Department]].
For some years the locomotive carried a BR livery with the fictitious number D2957. However in May 2017 it was repainted and renumbered 319290. It is maintained by the [[Bewdley Carriage & Wagon Department]].
