===Tender===
Bradley Manor has used a 4000 gallon Collett tender in preservation (main picture above). Owning group The Erlestoke Manor Fund are constructing a more appropriate 3500 gallon Churchward tender for Bradley Manor using serviceable parts from a GWR 3500 gallon tender (No T2329) which they acquired in ex-Barry condition. {{As of|2018|0309}}, work on this is continuing at Tyseley.<ref name=emf2018>[http://www.erlestokemanorfund.co.uk/february-march-update/ EMF Newsletter] Retrieved 15 March 2018</ref>
Sister locomotive 7812 Erlestoke Manor already has a 3500 gallon tender, No T2334; the contrast in tender size may be seen in the picture below. In January 2018, this tender was detached prior to 7812's move to Tyseley for overhaul, with the 3500 gallon tender remaining at Bridgnorth to be repainted and paired 'temporarily' with 7802. The swap was completed in March 2018.<ref name=emf2018/>
