50017 Royal Oak
For people who don't know what is happening with the loco here is what the owner has said on social media.
Boden rail are saddened by this decision but for the business to survive 50017 had to be sold and funds transferred by tomorrow, a sale has now fallen through meaning unfortunately the stripping of 50017 of its equipment and the parts sold on / scrapped to generate funds and keep D400 running.
A video captures the Severn Valley Railways Class 50 locomotive 50017 at the Royal Oak during an event celebrating the class. The footage is accompanied by commentary about the uncertain future of the locomotive, as its owner explains that due to financial challenges, efforts to sell it and generate funds for another locomotive, D400, have faced setbacks. The video provides insight into the ongoing situation involving these historic rail assets.
