Due to a severe shortage of steam locomotives at the
Severn Valley Railway, 50031
Hood and 50035
Ark Royal were used as replacements to cover several diagrams.
A pleasant addition to this unofficial mini diesel gala was that of 50044
Exeter on test before its imminent mainline duties. It was double-headed with 50031 between Kidderminster and Bewdley and with 50035 on the return.
For more pictures of these particular locomotives see the
In Preservation group.
