: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)
::My own feeling, 1) 3) and 4) are getting away from the context of the introductory paragraph "...used regularly on scheduled passenger and freight services". In the case of 2) the modern traction would probably have been scheduled but coming via Coalbrookdale and not really using the Severn Valley Branch as such. If we are going to refer to them, I'd suggest a separate section for 'Sundry locomotives' rather than including them with (and possibly detracting from) those used regularly for scheduled services. Apart from Bank Holiday excursion visitors like the Crab, other non-scheduled ones that spring to mind are the two CM&DPLR tanks which were regularly stabled at Kidderminster and things like USATC S160s which worked hospital trains to Stourport.--[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 10:37, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
:::All good points. Let's leave it--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 22:29, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
