==New build locomotive 82045==
[[File:82045_20190323.jpg|thumb|300px|right|82045 at Bridgnorth, March 2019]]The locomotive is being constructed at [[Bridgnorth Loco Works]]. It has been given the number 82045, which would have been allocated to the next class member had the Modernisation Plan not intervened. 82045's frame plates arrived at the SVR in 23 April 2007.
===Progress===
Progress on construction at March 2019 can be seen in the picture (right). On 17 April 2018, 82045 became a rolling chassis when the locomotive was wheeled at Bridgnorth. 82045 was moved into [[Bridgnorth Loco Works]] on 23 January 2019. The SVR want 82045 in service and earning its keep as soon as possible, and the decision has therefore been taken to put more work out to contract.
