Diesel locomotives at the SVR in preservation
From SVR Wiki
The table below attempts to list diesels and electrics, grouped between shunters and mainline locomotives, which have been present on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in preservation. These principally comprise:
- Current residents
- Former residents
- Hired locomotives (an asterisk after the hire date indicates the locomotive also took part in a gala)
- Gala visitors
- Contract overhauls
- Locomotives on through charter trains and railtours, proceeding beyond the southernmost section of line at Kidderminster, Foley Park or Bewdley (so excluding those locomotives that were swapped on arrival at the SVRSevern Valley Railway, or where passengers changed for an SVRSevern Valley Railway train).
It does not include:
- Casual visitors delivering stock etc.
- Multiple units and railcars
- AC/DC electric locomotives without self-propulsion.
This list is potentially incomplete.

Notes
- ↑ From around 2021 vehicles visited the SVRSevern Valley Railway for casual short periods, including collecting or depositing stock, but sometimes briefly undergoing engineering exams. Other vehicles underwent engineering work by the owners, for export or re-use.
