The source of many locomotives now in preservation. in March 1973 by a group of volunteers from the Strathspey Railway for restoration and use there.[4] It arrived at Bewdley by road from BarryWoodham Brothers Scrapyard, Barry, South Wales. The source of many locomotives now in preservation. in summer 1973 as "...a temporary visitor, being destined for the Strathspey Railway".[5] It was reported as being due to leave in 1975 having "...spent some time at Bewdley being repaired en route BarryWoodham Brothers Scrapyard, Barry, South Wales. The source of many locomotives now in preservation. to Aviemore".[6] However this image in the David Rostance Collection suggests it was still present in November 1976. The actual date of leaving the SVRSevern Valley Railway was not recorded in SVRSevern Valley Railway News, although a footnote in the 1998 Stock Book suggests it moved to the Bulmers Railway Centre at Hereford (supported by a Flickr image of the loco there in 1981 and another undated image here) before a move to Scotland in 1982.[7][8]. It was not included in any SVRSevern Valley Railway Stock Book as an SVRSevern Valley Railway locomotive, but is included here by virtue of the length of its 'residence'.
  • The 1973 convoy from Barry Scrapyard that brought 4930, 4141, 5164 and 7819 also brought an LMSLondon Midland & Scottish Railway StanierWilliam Stanier, Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway 1932-1944 welded tender which had last run with 44888. The tender had been separated from the loco at Tyseley after withdrawal, and remained with British Rail at Willesden shed as a water carrier. It was spotted by an SVRSevern Valley Railway member at Cadoxton en-route to BarryWoodham Brothers Scrapyard, Barry, South Wales. The source of many locomotives now in preservation. and then reserved for the SVRSevern Valley Railway as a spare tender. It was stored behind Highley signal box. It was later acquired by the 48624 group[9].
