The stolen builder’s plate from Direct Rail Services 68025 Superb has been returned.
The plate was stolen from the locomotive while it was stabled overnight at Bewdley on May 21. The ‘68’ was attending the Severn Valley Railway diesel festival.
An appeal was immediately launched for the return of the item, with DRS saying that its participation in future galas was being reviewed as a result of the theft.
The plate was returned anonymously in the post to SVR General Manager Nick Ralls. The SVR said in a statement: “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 this matter and helped spread the word.”
