The Severn Valley Railway is home to a number of diesel locomotives. These are used for shunting and also to haul certain passenger services. The Railway is also home to Class 101 and 108 Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs).
Most of the diesel locomotives are based at Kidderminster TMD. However operational diesel locomotives are also stationed at Bridgnorth, Highley and Bewdley.
