Description
Step into the yard at Kidderminster on the Severn Valley Railway as we take a look at the future of rail traction in a heritage setting!

In this video, we follow HydroShunter H3802, the UK’s first hydrogen-powered shunting locomotive, as it gets to work around the yard. Converted from a 1959 Class 08, this innovative locomotive replaces its original diesel engine with a hydrogen fuel cell and battery system—delivering zero-emission operation while retaining the character of a classic shunter.

Watch as H3802 performs a variety of shunting movements and is turned on the turntable, showing just how seamlessly new technology can blend with traditional railway operations.

A fascinating mix of past and future—this is something truly unique on the Severn Valley Railway!
