    Nice photo. If those (driving) wheelsets are scrap they seem to have a good set of tyres on them!! What are they off?

    I'm not entirely sure - I had a brief look at them but couldn't see any obvious markings on them - though I didn't spend much time examining them. I've assumed they're scrap because of where they are, the area where the Stourport line branches off seems to be the SVR's scrapyard.

    I wonder if they might be a spare set of 15XX drivers ...

    There is a set of 3 wheelsets ex 1502 or 1509 with very heavily worn tyres & 3 57xx wheelsets with scrap tyres - none of the wheelsets themselves are "scrap" - nor is this area itself the SVR's scrapyard, it is a storage area.

    A storage area that resembles a scrapyard then.
