==1990==
:1990 saw new records for the number of passengers on the Santa Services (42,602) and ticket sales in the year (209,837). Turnover exceeded £2m for the first time.
:The P.W. Department completed the process of replacing all wooden sleepers throughout the Railway with concrete sleepers, apart from within stations.
'''September 1992''': The Autumn Gala guest was LNER A4 pacific 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley (BR 60007); a total of 12 engines were in steam for the event.
:The contract for construction of the New Road footbridge was signed just in time to qualify for a grant from the European Regional Development Fund..
'''Winter 1994''': The SVR(H) Board announced the sale of 45690 Leander (and 45699 Galatea) to the family of Dr. Peter Beet. The justification given was that the offer was attractive, the locomotive had been stored out of use for 7 years, funds were not available for a General Repair, and once repaired the locomotive would see limited use on the SVR due to its size and axle loading. Predictably many members complained of the Railway ‘selling the family silver’.
==1995==
'''November 1995''': Peckett 1758 departed for the South Devon Railway.<Ref>[http://totnes.southdevonrailwayassociation.org/motive-power-that-has-visited-the-sdr South Devon Railway Association]</ref>
==1996==
'''April 1996''': The Spring Gala featured GWR Collett 7800 Manor class no 7822 Foxcote Manor from Llangollen, and GWR Churchward 4200 class 2-8-0T no 4277. The latter, owned by Peter Best, had been at the SVR for completion of restoration as a contract job. The gala was intended to feature 8 GWR locomotives; in the event 46521 (an honorary GWR engine being Swindon-built) had to substitute for a failed 4566.
==1997==
'''February 1997''': 45215 was officially named ‘Blossom’ by actor Steven Lewis in a ceremony on 17 February.
:Passenger numbers exceeded 200,000 and turnover passed £3m for the first time.
==1998==
'''November 1998''': Hunslet 0-6-0 No 686 The Lady Armaghdale celebrated her 100th birthday. The locomotive was briefly painted into her original black livery as Manchester Ship Canal No 32, before returning to Thomas duties.
==1999==
'''November 1999''': The first steelwork was installed for the new Carriage Shed.
