This page is still a bit of a work-in-progress. Any additional types, information on classes, example loco numbers and relevant pictures would be appreciated. Plus proof reading of course! --Robin (talk) 16:03, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- 2251 and Manor I've seen photos, plus Sellick has Class 116s. --Patrick Hearn (talk) 17:49, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks - I've added those. I reverted the last of your edits which I think (or hope!) was just formatting changes moving references after punctuation, which is correct practice on Wikipedia but causes problems on this Wiki due to a conflict with the 'Lingo' terminology add-on. There are some notes about it on my user page. --Robin (talk) 22:26, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Yup. I went to undo them but they were already undone thanks!--Patrick Hearn (talk) 22:54, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

- Diesels, I ponder? Did 25s etc make it onto the branch for coal traffic at Alveley or Stourport?
- The ex-ROD 2-8-0s should get a listing as they're mentioned. I'm not clear when they were used, was it the GWRGreat Western Railway 3000 Class or other ex-RODs?
