==New build locomotive 82045==The project was one of those that suffered in 2011 from the [[Bridgnorth Loco Works#2011_Copper_theft|theft]] of copper sheets that had been cut to size for the firebox.
The locomotive is being constructed at In 2011 the project was the beneficiary of SVRA's 'Cylinders for 82045' raffle.

[[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>
===Livery===
The Trust’s website notes that "''As 82045 was destined for the WR had it been built as planned in 1956, it was decided that the loco when finished should appear in the attractive Swindon-inspired livery of dark green, lined out in orange and black. A subsequent repaint into lined black hasn't been ruled out, though.''"
