Into Bridgnorth Loco Works 23.1.19
==New build locomotive 82045==
The locomotive is being constructed at [[BridgnorthLoco Works]]. It has been given the number 82045, which would have been allocated to the next class member had the Modernisation Plan not intervened.
===Progress===
Progress on construction at February 2016 can be seen in the pictures below. 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. The boiler will however be assembled at [[Bridgnorth Loco Works#Boiler_shop|boiler shop]].<ref>[http://www.82045.org.uk/news/82045_news-apr18.html 82045 News, April 2018] (Retrieved 26 April2018)</ref>
