==Yellow Peril catches fire==
Diminutive diesel shunter [[Ruston and Hornsby Diesel Shunter 402812 Yellow Peril|"Yellow Peril"]] lived up to its name when it caught fire one day at Bewdley. Mick Osbourne, signalman in the South Box, ran down the box steps and put the fire out using the box’s fire extinguisher. Mick Thorp arrived on the scene and, using his ingenuity in rewiring the loco, got it working again. In just over ten minutes, it was back shunting!<ref name=SVR133> SVR News 133 p. 62. “The Early SVR Shunters” (Chris Magner)</ref>
