Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that a builder's plate from DRS Class 68 has been removed whilst the loco was stabled at Bewdley overnight.

The non-return of this important item could jeopardise DRS visits to the SVR and Diesel events in the future.

If anyone can provide any information as to its location please contact General Manager, Nick Ralls on Nick.Ralls@svrlive.com or call 01562 757900

We're really pleased to report the safe return turn of the missing builder's plate!

The item from DRS Class 68 diesel locomotive was removed while it was stabled at Bewdley overnight (May 21st) following its visit for our Spring Diesel Festival.

Yesterday, the item, was returned anonymously in the post to General Manager, Nick Ralls.

We are very pleased and relieved that the plate has been returned safely so that it can be put back in its rightful place.

Thank you to everyone that shared our posts on this matter and helped spread the word.
