GWR Churchward designed '28xx' Class 2-8-0 No 2857 makes for a nice image as it pulls away from Kidderminster in August 2016.

20048 and 20189 attended the Severn Valley Diesel Gala.20048 with the Discs was one of the initial batch of 128 ordered under the modernization plan. Then 20189 was one of a further 100 ordered following dissatisfaction with the performance of the class 17 Claytons. Ironic that the sole surviving class 17 is in the background!
The Severn Valley Railway is a heritage railway in Shropshire and Worcestershire, England. The 16-mile (26 km) heritage line runs along the Severn Valley from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster, crossing the Shropshire/Worcestershire border, following the course of the River Severn for much of its route. Train services are hauled predominantly by steam locomotives, plus one diesel hauled train, making two round trips a day, on most days. Diesel locomotives are also used for engineering trains, to replace failed steam locomotives at short notice, and during periods of high fire risk.
The railway is the sixth-longest standard gauge heritage line in the United Kingdom. It hosts numerous special events throughout the year, including both steam and diesel galas.
