== 813 in main line service ==
After returning to steam 813 visited a large number of other railways around the UK before being withdrawn in 2009 for her next major overhaul, which is currently in progress at [[Bridgnorth Loco Works]]. {{As of|2016|06}} the boiler and saddle tank had been refitted as seen in the lower photograph. Also the locomotive had passed its steam test and was awaiting refitting of the connecting rods and repainting.<ref>[http://forum.svra.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3188&start=15 SVR Online Forum]</ref>
