http://www.svr.co.uk/pdf/Special%20Events/SVR%20Spring%20Diesel%20Festival%20Brochure%202017.pdf shows 50007 attending the diesel festival but neither a home fleet or visitor. Do we add it here? Do we add it to home fleet? Thoughts please - thanks--Patrick Hearn (talk) 20:36, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

50007 (and D1015, regarding your other comment) are both regularly included on the "Diesel Loco Fleet Status" summaries on SVR Online, but I don't know whether these summaries would indicate if they were visitors. The summaries do include non-home-fleet locos, such as the pair of visiting Class 20s, but those two are specifically indicated as visiting mainline locos and that they are not to be used without authorisation. Such comments are lacking for 50007 and D1015, and they are regarded as available for SVR traffic use, but I imagine that status has applied to most long-term diesel visitors (e.g. the Deltics over the last couple of summers).
In summary, I think I've concluded very little, except that some locos are visiting, but some are more "visiting" than others! --Danny252 (talk) 21:31, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
