6634 is a Collett 5600 Class 0-6-2T locomotive and is owned by the Waterman Railway Heritage Trust. On 19 August 2009 the ‘rolling chassis’ arrived on the SVR in 2009 for restoration from [[Barry Scrapyard | ex-Barry]] condition to be completed. SVR News announced that the SVR had reached an agreement with the owners to complete the overhaul of the ‘bottom end’ while Crewe completed the repair of the boiler. The SVR would then bring the locomotive into use; with it being run on the SVR for ‘a period deemed fair by both parties’. The deal appeared favourable to the SVR as it would not involve the boiler shop or require space in the works on the jacks. Some work has been carried out since arrival, but the locomotive is currently in storage at [[Bridgnorth]].
