:I found this image [https://railway-photography.smugmug.com/GWRSteam-1/Dean-Locomotives/Dean-assorted-designs/GWR-2600-Aberdare-Class/i-3NZKSWJ of a 2600 Class at Kidder]. Is there any record of these on the branch (or loop)?--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 17:47, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
:: The only reference I have seen so far is in Turley who noted four of them in regular wartime use on the Tenbury goods (Stourbridge-Kidderminster-Tenbury-Hereford). He records seeing a number of others at Kidderminster including on incoming sugar beet trains, but doesn't list any of them as working up towards Shrewsbury as far as I can see. I'll keep an eye open for any other sightings. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 21:30, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
:1) Buildwas Junction to Sutton Bridge Junction and construction traffic to the new power station: I can't find what traction was used? 2) Power station coal traffic accessed the branch at Buildwas with all sorts of traction (66s et al). Do we reference this? 3) north of Berrington and the testing of Rolls Royce Sentinel diesel shunting engines, I've not discovered any BR locos used? 4) short spur of the old line remained open to serve the Shrewsbury Abbey sidings oil depot, I can only see an 08 tripped wagons there? I can add 08 and a note for 60/66 , but any thoughts?--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 05:39, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
