[[File:Flying_Pig_Railtour.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Brochure for SVR Railtours' 1981 "The Flying Pig" railtour]]For many years the SVR was closely associated with steam excursions on the main line. In the mid-1970s, even before the company acquired the final section of the line from Foley Park, the SVR set out to become a ‘BR approved’ steam centre, supplying locomotives and rolling stock overhauled to BR standards for use on main line excursions and charters.
The normal arrangement was that locomotives would leave the SVR and travel to other steam centres, in particular the Bulmers Railway Centre at Hereford, to run tours from there. The time spent away could vary from days to months. In between, locomotives would return to the SVR for repairs and overhauls, as well as working services on the SVR itself. The SVR also organised some of of these railtours.
The first recorded use of the SVR's rolling stock on the main line was an excursion from Bridgnorth to Paddington on 13 November 1976. This was hauled by a BR Western Class diesel locomotive 25292 and 25272 from Bewdleyto Kidderminster, and later by a Class 47 Diesel47120 to Paddington. (<ref>[http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/70s/761113sv.html Railtour details on Six Bells Junction]) The first recorded use of an SVR based locomotive in revenue-earning service on the main line was [[Former Residents|6960 Raveningham Hall]], which hauled the ‘Cathedrals Express’ from Hereford to Chester on 8 April 1978. (</ref><ref>[http://www.sixbellsjunctionhatspics.co.uk/70s/780408fwtype_years_photos.htm Railtour details php?type=SVR&year=1976 Alan Thwaites images on Six Bells Junctionhatspics])</ref>
The first recorded use of an SVR based locomotive in revenue-earning service on the main line was [[GWR 6960 Raveningham Hall|6960 Raveningham Hall]], which hauled the ‘Cathedrals Express’ from Hereford to Chester on 8 April 1978. ([http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/70s/780408fw.htm Railtour details on Six Bells Junction]). The last SVR-resident steam locomotive to work a main line excursion was 7802 Bradley Manor in 2007, although SVR-based diesels are still regularly used for this purpose.

Three BR Flat ED wagons were supplied by Universal Pictures for [[The Seven-Per-Cent Solution]]. They were originally classified as 'Horse Box Underframe of unknown ID'<ref>SVR Stock Book v7</ref>, and given the temporary numbers SV14191, SV14192 and SV14193. Later research proved their identities to be [[BR 906811 Flat ED | 906811]], [[BR 906825 Flat ED | 906825]] and [[BR 906830 Flat ED | 906830]]<ref>SVR Stock Book v9</ref>, although it is not clear which two took part in the goods train.
