And another one spotted!
:::::As well as the pictures of at least six 82xxx tanks, I'd also seen pictures of at least five Ivatt Class 2s in use (41202/203/209/240/304), but not the BR 2-6-4T Class 4s (well I must have seen the one in SVR News, but not noticed it!). So Smith's information supports your original edit, give or take the word 'regularly'. Either the Class 4s were infrequently used, or they managed to dodge the photographers. A good idea on asking Michael Clemens if anyone does catch him. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 21:30, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
::::::I asked a regular poster (Reg Storer) on one of the Facebook railway history groups about the 80xxx tanks, the chap being a local trainspotter around Oswestry and Shrewsbury in the 60s. His short answer was "I never saw an 80 on the SV Branch", with the additional comment that the Shrewsbury 4MTs were usually on Cambrian services. --[[User:Danny252|Danny252]] ([[User talk:Danny252|talk]]) 09:02, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
:::::And now a photo has popped up of an unidentified 80xxx on the last day of service, with a Hartlebury-Shrewsbury service approaching Bridgnorth.

I have added a section incorporating the above information and references, to which fusrther improvenents can be made.--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 23:01, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
