The Severn Valley Railway is a 16 mile long heritage railway in Worcestershire and Shropshire, England, running from Kidderminster Town to Bridgenorth. Operations started in 1862 running from Hartlebury to Shrewsbury. The line was closed in in the 1963 Beeching Cuts, but the section in between Kidderminster Town and Bridgenorth was converted into a heritage railway. There are eight stations on the line, of which two are "halts" that are usually daylight request stops. The stations are: Kidderminster Town Bewdley Northwood halt Arley Highley Country Park halt Hampton Loade Bridgenorth The railway uses a plethora of steam locomotives, the oldest of which is over 100 years old, as well as many old diesels. These are just my favourites that I want in the route. GWR No. 813 Port Talbot Parkway Built in 1900, this loco is the oldest on the railway. An 0-6-0 tank engine in GWR unlined green livery. No. 43106 This LMS Ivatt class 4 tender engine is unofficially known as "The Flying Pig" was built in 1951 and is a 2-6-0. It is in BR lined black livery. BR Class 08/09/11 Three class 08s are present on the railway, all in BR green livery. D3022(08015) is based at Kidderminster with No. 13201(08133) the latter formerly named D3201, with D3586(08471) at Bridgenorth. Two class 09s are based at Kidderminster, D4100(09012) in BR Green and No. 09107 in BR blue. A class 11 (No. 12099) in BR Black is based at Bridgenorth. Class 42 No. D821 Greyhound is one of two preserved examples of the warship class. These diesel hydraulic locomotives were built for the Western region, but all were retired by 1972. D821 is in BR maroon livery. Class 52 The railway operates two class 52s in maroon, D1015 Western champion and D1062 Western Courier. These would be available for people with the class 52 DLC that came out for West Somerset railway.
