The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) has launched an “Adopt an Engine” scheme with lots of benefits to help raise funds for the line during the difficult time caused by COVID-19.

Adopt an Engine

Have a favourite locomotive on the SVR? Then why not adopt it! With Bronze starting from £30, which includes a Freedom of the Line Train Ticket, you also get the chance to ride behind your adopted engine once the line reopens (subject to availability).

There are four engines to choose from, these are:

1. Great Western Railway 4900 ‘Hall’ Class No.4900 “Hagley Hall”
2. War Department “Austerity” 2-10-0 No.600 “Gordon”
3. London, Midland and Scottish Railway Ivatt Class 4 No.43106 (Commonly Known as ‘The Flying Pig’
4. London, Midland and Scottish Railway Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 ‘Black 5’ No.45110

You then have the choice of four adoption levels with the following rewards:

1. Bronze (£30) – Engine certificate showing your adoption, 6″ x 4″ glossy photograph of your engine, SVR Pen and Freedom of the Line Train Ticket (worth £19.55)
2. Silver (£50) – Bronze rewards plus SVR Enamel Pin Badge
