The closure of branch lines such as the Severn Valley and those that suffered in 2011 from the replacement [[Bridgnorth Loco Works#2011_Copper_theft|theft]] of steam by DMU services ultimately led copper sheets that had been cut to size for the withdrawal from service of those already built.

[[The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust]] is building a new locomotive of the Riddles BR 3MT 2‑6‑2T class, none of which survived into preservation. A number of members of this class of tank engines hauled services on the SVR during the BR era.
45 of these locomotives, numbered 82000-82044, were built at BR’s Swindon works between 1952 and 1955. All 45 began service in lined black livery, but many of those that worked on the BR Western Region were later repainted in lined green or latterly in unlined green livery.<ref>82045 Steam Locomotive Trust web site</ref>
In 2011 the project was the beneficiary of SVRA's 'Cylinders for 82045' raffle. Including donations the gross income was over £21.000 with a net surplus of around £17,000.<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2346&highlight=New build locomotive raffle SVR Forum] (Retrieved 23 March 2019)</ref> In 2016 it was the Guarantee Company's "Slidebars and Crossheads" raffle which, in combination with an appeal to shareholders and further boosted by cash donations, generated over £30,000 for 82045==.<ref>[http://www.82045.org.uk/news/82045_news-sep16.html News Update - September 2016, The 82045 SLT website] (Retrieved 23 March 2019)</ref>
