→47383 in preservation: Lost bracket, also reordered years for Swanage visits (or was it meant to be 1988 instead of 1998?)
Following an overhaul, 47383 was steamed again in late 1982, although the first move under power did not go as expected – forward gear was selected but the locomotive promptly set off in reverse!<ref>SVR News 66</ref>. Once this minor issue was addressed, the locomotive resumed duties although in 1987 another mid-ticket year was spent out of service, this time for repairs including a broken piston. Service resumed in 1988 and continued until the boiler’s ‘end of ticket’ in winter 1991.<ref>SVR News 101</ref> A quick turnaround saw 47383 steamed again in July 1992;<ref>SVR News 103</ref> this time an unbroken 10 year stint was completed until its last steaming in 2002.
During its time at the SVR, 47383 spent a couple of seasons running as 'Thomas' , due to an overhaul being carried out on [[686 The Lady Armaghdale]]). The locomotive also spent a number of periods on hire to other railways including Swanage (19981989, 1989 1996 and 19961998), Churnet Valley (1996 and 1997) and Chinnor and Princes Risborough (1997). Mileage recorded for the locomotive in SVR News was as follows:
