The heritage line has said a number of replica GRW (Great Western Railway) signs were stolen from Hampton Loade station earlier this week.
And on Tuesday, Eardington station was targeted where thieves made off with two hand-held 'Tilley' lamps.
A spokesperson for the Severn Valley Railway said they believed it was a "targeted theft".
"It looks very much like a targeted theft, because as far as we can see only two lamps have been taken, along with a red toolbox full of spares that was probably an opportunistic theft, though it means that many year's worth of accumulated spares have gone in an instant," he said. "Both lamps are unique in that they have repairs and modifications that have been recorded and are instantly identifiable."
Severn Valley Railway took to X.com (Twitter) to appeal to anyone that are offered the items for sale to contact them.
West Mercia Police said enquiries to the thefts were "ongoing".
