'''417 Invicta ''' was briefly resident on the SVR between 1972 and 1975.
==Service==
==Preservation==
Invicta was delivered by road to the SVR on 30 June 1972, having been acquired by the "[[List of preservation groups#Preservation groups formerly associated with the SVR|Invicta Locomotive Preservation Society]]"<ref>SVR Stock Book Fifth Edition</ref> under then -[[SVR (H)]] Director David Porter(who was also President of the group owning [[LMS Stanier Class 5 45110]]). The locomotive was steamed on arrival at [[Bridgnorth]] and recorded 4 miles in use during 1972. It was scheduled to be repainted in London, Chatham and Dover Railway livery and due to its small size was intended for footplate rides and other light duties only.<ref name=SB4/> However no further mileage was recorded before the locomotive was sold in spring of 1975.<ref>SVR News 35</ref>
After moving to Chasewater and later Long Marston, the locomotive returned to the Chatham Historic Dockyard Railway in 2009.<ref>Chatham Historic Dockyard Railway web site</ref>
