However this assessment revealed that significant work would be required<ref>SVR News 168</ref> and [[GWR Pannier 1501 | 1501]], seen as a potential quick turnaround, was selected for overhaul instead.<ref>SVR News 169</ref> 75069’s overhaul finally began in early 2013<ref>SVR News 180</ref> and among the major tasks involved were complete replacement of the dragbox, patterns and castings for replacement rear cylinder covers, new smokebox and two new boiler rings. {{As of|2017|lc=y2018}}, progress on this overhaul continues at [[Bridgnorth Loco Works]].  One major task that has already been completed is that of complete replacement of the dragbox. Additionally, during dismantlement of the cylinders the flange of one of the rear cylinder covers was found to be broken. A pattern for the replacement (along with its other handed partner) is in the course of construction in the SVR's pattern shop.
