In Spring 2006 an [[:Category:SVR fundraising lotteries|SVRA raffle]] was held to help raise funds for a new crank axle, further movement of the crank since the earlier repair having led to restrictions in train loadings.<ref>SVR News 153</ref> After working in each of the years 1992 to 2009, 7714 was withdrawn from service in August 2009 with a boiler issue.<ref>SVR News 167</ref> The locomotive then spent a period on display in [[The Engine House]], before being moved to Bridgnorth in April 2012 for overhaul.<ref>SVR News 179</ref> It is thought the damage to the right hand half of the cylinder casting occurred during its NCB ownership. The riveting of the boiler barrel had been completed by January 2016, with the boiler passing its out of frames steam test in August 2016.<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=508&start=150 SVR Forum]</ref> The locomotive was painted in BR black at Bridgnorth during October 2016,<ref>[http://www.svrlive.com/copy-of-news-140916-1-813-repaint SVR Live 'Ex-GWR 0-6-0PT No. 7714']</ref> with the overhaul being completed in November 2016.<ref Name = "MtL">SVR Meet the Locomotives page</ref>
The locomotive is now owned by the [[SVR Pannier Tank Fund]], who also own [[GWR Pannier 5764]].
