→History: L95 exhibition
==History==
The Fund had its origins with the [[SVRA|SVRA Kidderminster Branch]] who conducted a search to find a suitable pannier tank for the SVR around 1970. None of those in use by the NCB at the time were available, so L95 (5764) was acquired from London Transport in 1971. In 1973 tender forms were received from the NCB for 7714 and further fund raising allowed the purchase of the Fund's second pannier. In 1977 the the Kidderminster branch committee recorded their thanks to those who had contributed to the Pannier Tank Fund.<ref>SVR News 46, "The Saga of the Pannier Tanks" by [[John Hill]]</ref>
In 2019 a new exhibition [[The Engine House#Current exhibitions|'L95, A Locomotive History from London to the Severn Valley Railway']] opened in [[The Engine House]]. The display includes copies of documents relating to the establishment of the Fund and the acquisition of L95.
