*On 1 September 1971 8233 was briefly renumbered 48188 for a film concerning the heroism of Driver John Axon G.C. who was killed when the real 48188 ran away at Chapel-en-le-Frith in 1957. Filming involving freight train scenes took place on 1 September 1971.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Williams (1974)]] p. 44.</ref> Details of the resulting film are required.

*From the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severn_Valley_Railway Wikipedia entry for the SVR]: Bridgnorth station was used in 1981 as part of a sketch for the TV comedy Not the Nine O'Clock News. In the sketch, Mel Smith's character observes a steam train passing by without stopping and refers to it as an "old chuffer", forming part of a sequence of puns around the protagonist's wife.

*From SVR News 27 for Spring 1985, Chris Ridgway's Locomotive Department notes. "''5690 Leander has had its left hand side motion overhauled. The return crank had a new bush fitted, but this seized up on test, putting a slight bend into the eccentric rod. Immediate repairs enabled a filming contract to be fulfilled. It's nice to see a discerning film company, after the interminable series of green engines being requested''." The film (or TV programme) is unknown as none of those currently listed around that time include Leander.

*From 'Severn Valley Railway memories' by Christopher Magner, p47 (Self published, 1997, no ISBN number) "Good publicity was obtained [in 1966] when BBC television made a film on the preservation scheme for the Today programme"

*From Tony Willmore in 2022: "I used to be involved with the Western diesels and I can think of other filming jobs we did with them. There was a "Don't forget to tell Sid" British Gas advert [1986] filmed at Bewdley with D1062. Then there was TV drama filmed at Bridgnorth one evening with D1062 but when the programme appeared the footage had not been used. I also remember BBC Midlands Today being at Bridgnorth one evening on the anniversary of the line's closure, with suitable renumbered Pannier Tanks working a train."
