Most of the locos were from Bescot or Stourbridge, with odd ones from Bushbury, Saltley, Monument Lane, Nuneaton, etc. The Gloucester - Bescot run used to throw up a 4F at times and the Eckington - Round Oak should normally have a Barrow Hill engine. 'Foreigners' also put in an appearance, Jan Ford reporting a WD on the Eckington and a Jubilee on the Stourport coal. By the 1960s most of the passenger trains were DMUs, although Tyseley Prairies worked into Dudley from Snow Hill, as did 14xx and 64xx tanks on Auto trains in previous times.
