==7714 in preservation==
7714 came to the SVR in 1973 following a successful bid by the [[Severn Valley Railway Association | SVRA]] – Kidderminster Branch. A lengthy restoration followed; the locomotive was not first steamed until 1992. The locomotive is now owned by the [[SVR Pannier Tank Fund]], who also own [[GWR Pannier 5764]].
7714 last saw service in August 2009. Following a period on display in [[The Engine House]], an overhaul is now under way at Bridgnorth. It is thought the damage to the right hand half of the cylinder casting occurred during its NCB ownership.  The {{As of|2016|01}}, the riveting of the boiler barrel has been completed, and work is continuing on marking and drilling the firebox stay holes. It is expected that the locomotive is owned by will be outshopped during the summer of 2016.<ref>[[SVR Pannier Tank Fundhttp://forum.svra.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=48772#48772 SVRA Forum]] who also own [[GWR Pannier 5764]]., post by 'Black 5 man', dated and accessed 11 Jan 2016</ref>
