4141 was resident on the SVR between 1973 and 1988, although restoration was never completed. 4141 was also a Gala visitor in spring 2007.
4141 is a GWR Collett 5101 'Large Prairie', and a sister engine to the SVR’s [[GWR Large Prairie 4150 | 4150]]. 4141 was out-shopped from Swindon in August 1946, and was based at the Gloucester (Horton Rd) depot for its entire working life which lasted just 17 years. Following withdrawal by BR in February 1963, 4141 was sent to [[Barry scrapyardScrapyard]]. In 1970 SVR member Peter Waite expressed an interest in purchasing the locomotive, and with assistance from the ‘Hampton Loade Loco Fund’ 4150 arrived on the SVR on 6 January 1973 in a convoy which also included 5164, 4930 Hagley Hall and 7819 Hinton Manor.
After several months at Bewdley, 4141 moved to Hampton Loade where restoration began on an isolated section of track. However progress was slow and had effectively stalled by 1988 when the locomotive was sold and moved away from the SVR.
4141 returned to the SVR in 2007 for an appearance at the Spring Steam Gala. In October 2012 the locomotive moved to its latest home, the Epping Ongar Railway.
