D5410 is a BR Class 27 [[UIC classification | Bo-Bo]] diesel-electric locomotive. 69 of these were built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company (BRCW) during 1961 and 1962. They were capable of delivering 1,250 horsepower, they were designed to work light mixed freight traffic at up to 75 mph.
== D5410 in preservation ==
Following withdrawal, D5410 was purchased by Sandwell Council who wished to retain an example of a BRCW locomotive. It appeared at the SVR Diesel Gala in October 1987, after which it was moved to the Birmingham Railway Museum at Tyseley (now known as Tyseley Locomotive Works). During the next few years all blue asbestos was removed from the locomotive and it was restored as D5410. By May 1991 it had returned to the SVR.
Following a period in store, it moved to UKRail's facility in Leicester in November 2015 for bodywork overhaul, then moved to Cranmore 23 February 2016.<ref>[http://www.svr.co.uk/MeetTheLoco.aspx?id=90 SVR Meet the Locos]</ref>
Images of bodywork repairs "going well" appeared on Preserved Diesels' Facebook page and were added to SVRLive in September 2016.<ref>[http://svrlive.wixsite.com/svrlive/copy-of-news-300516-1-9 SVRLive]</ref>
