Revision as of 22:53, 7 January 2020

I've added formerly resident diesels, based on a trawl through old SVRSevern Valley Railway stock books up to 1990. If anyone remembers any others since, please feel free to add to the list. I guess Railcar 22 should go in this category.


Was 73006 loaned under the same circumstances as 73005 - i.e. did they come as a pair?

Also, what were the details of the "hire"? The note states "Hired to cover for D7633", which was sold to a private owner who moved it to the DFR, D7633 not having worked for two years. Was the arrival of 73005 (and 6?) some sort of reciprocal arrangement? --Danny252 (talk) 09:14, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

I answered my own questions! --Danny252 (talk) 09:41, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Was 46512 a resident or not?

I've had a quick trawl through SVRSevern Valley Railway News. When 46512 arrived by road from BarryWoodham Brothers Scrapyard, Barry, South Wales. The source of many locomotives now in preservation. in summer 1973 it was described as "...only a temporary visitor, being destined for the Strathspey Railway".[1] It left in spring 1975 after it had "...spent some time at Bewdley being repaired en route BarryWoodham Brothers Scrapyard, Barry, South Wales. The source of many locomotives now in preservation. to Aviemore".[2] It wasn't mentioned in the 1974 stock book, so my feeling is that it was here for engineering rather than being a resident.--Robin (talk) 20:25, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Certainly temporary [1]. The Spring 1975 date is probably wrong, this image in the David Rostance Collection shows it still resident in November 1976. The Lottery Fund gives 1982, also given in the Preserved British Steam Locomotives website. If correct, does a nine-year temporary stay count as residence? It's not shown as a departure in the ninth edition. Happy if you want to reverse the entries, but if so I suggest a footnote?--Patrick Hearn (talk) 22:50, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
