'''The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust ''' is building [[BR 3MT 82045]], a new locomotive of the BR Standard 3MT 2‑6‑2 82000 tank class, none of which survived into preservation. The class historically worked [[Locomotives used on the Severn Valley Branch in commercial service|services on the Severn Valley line in BR days]]. Unlike many of the current new build projects which are recreating larger main-line types, 82045 is intended specifically for heritage line use.
The project started life in the late 1990s as The 82045 Locomotive Fund which initially maintained a fairly low profile. Renamed The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust following its incorporation as a company limited by guarantee and subsequent attainment of charitable status (Registration No 1133893) early in 2010, the organisation during 2017 excedded exceeded funds of £1,000,000 for the first time. Membership is by annual subscription: it has built up a nucleus of over 500 members.<ref>[http://www.82045.org.uk/82045_project-history.html 82045 project background]</ref><ref>[http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Accounts/Ends93/0001133893_AC_20171231_E_C.PDF 2017 Report and Accounts]</ref>
The locomotive is being built at [[BridgnorthLoco Works]]. The trust's web site includes a [http://www.82045.org.uk/82045_news.html monthly news page]. It operates sales stands on an occasional basis, usually at [[Bridgnorth]] during galas and similar events.

On 6 October 2017 the Trust will run ran a special train consisting of one round trip Bridgnorth-Kidderminster. The name is partly derived from 82000 tank class which finished their days in and around the former LSWR terminus.<ref name="Feb17">[http://www.82045.org.uk/news/82045_news-feb17.html News update - February 2017 news update] (Retrieved 1 March 2017)</ref>
==Main line running option==The project to build 82045 was predicated on the idea that is intended first and foremost for use on preserved railways. The Trust sought the opinion of its members in May 2018, noting that limited main line running was still an option but involving additional expense, and that ''the decision needs to be taken soon, certainly before the boiler is fitted''.<ref>[http://www.82045.org.uk/news/82045_news-may18.html News update - May 2018] (Retrieved 5 December 2020)</ref> The majority opinion (although not by a huge majority) was against proceeding with the main line option<ref>[http://www.82045.org.uk/news/82045_news-july18.html News update - July 2018] (Retrieved 5 December 2020)</ref>. ==82045 Future AccountFund==In 2017 the Trust is launching launched the 82045 Future Account, a money pot which to ensure that funds will always be available to look after the new locomotive's future well-being after it has entered service.<ref name="Feb17"/>Once the engine is running, all finances will be channelled into the Fund: structured income built from monthly donations, steaming fees from the SVR, plus hire-out fees from other railways which the engine will visit.<ref>[http://www.82045.org.uk/news/82045_news-may20.html News update - May 2020] (Retrieved 4 December 2020)</ref> This includes legacies<ref>[http://www.82045.org.uk/news/82045_news-aug20.html News update - August 2020] (Retrieved 4 December 2020)</ref>.

Welcome to the Severn Valley Railway Wiki

From this week's featured article
Caledonian Railway Goods Van 2080 was one of the first four wagons to arrive on the SVRSevern Valley Railway post-preservation. It subsequently carried both CR and LMSLondon Midland & Scottish Railway livery, the latter as seen in 1980 TV drama God's Wonderful Railway (pictured). After some years stored out of use, it left the SVRSevern Valley Railway for a new home in 2016. (Full article...)

For 101 years between 1862 and 1963, the Severn Valley Railway formed part of the national railway network, running for 40 miles between Hartlebury and Shrewsbury. Established as a separate company, it was mainly operated by the Great Western Railway (GWRGreat Western Railway) and later by British Railways (BRBritish Rail or British Railways).

The present day Severn Valley Railway (SVRSevern Valley Railway) was established in 1965 to preserve part of the line as a heritage railway. Today it has six stations and two halts and runs for 16 miles along the Severn Valley between Bridgnorth in Shropshire and Kidderminster in Worcestershire, following the course of the River Severn for much of its route. Operations involve a mixture of steam and heritage diesel-hauled services.

This unofficial website is a project aimed to collect information and record events relating to the SVRSevern Valley Railway, both past and present.

For timetables, fare information, and news about special events, please visit the SVR Official Website. Other news and information of interest to members, shareholders and enthusiasts can be found on SVRLive.

In April 2023 the SVRSevern Valley Railway announced the launch of a Survival Fund to enable it to overcome the current financial crisis and implement longer-term plans for its future. Information and details of how to donate may be found on the SVRSevern Valley Railway's Survival Fund page.
