I was able to see the majority of the diesel locos based on the SVR on Saturday 31st August

billed as a super Saturday of services 3 steam locos and one diesel
Originally it was billed as D821 Greyhound doing the diesel turn, but was replaced by D1015 Western Champion as the Warship was not ready for service yet

Luckily for some reason in the late afternoon D821 Greyhound was in Kidderminster station with D1048 Western Lady, (not sure of reason why)
