}}80072 is a BR Standard Class 4 2-6-4T tank engine designed by R.A. Riddles. The Class 4 tank engine was derived from the ex-LMS Fairburn 2-6-4T, and was used mainly on commuter and outer suburban services. A total of 155 were built, of which 15 have survived into preservation. Her sister, [[BR Riddles 4MT 80079|80079]] is an SVR resident and a brief history of the class on the SVR can be found on that page.
This very useful engine is based at the Llangollen Railway and is owned by 80072 Steam Locomotive Co Ltd. She has visited the SVR many times in preservation.
*Autumn Gala 1999
*Spring Galas 2011 and 2013
*Winter hire for Santa services 2011 and 2017.
In addition 80072 is a rarity, an engine that worked over the SVR in service before being preserved. She was photographed on the line on three occasions during the very cold winter of 1962-63 (whilst allocated to Swansea East Dock, 87D).<ref>[http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=class&id=726401&type=S&page=alloc 80000 page, BRDatabase] (Retrieved 23 April 2017)</ref> Images can be found in the [[Sellick Collection]].
