3205 was resident on the SVR between 1967 and 1987, and was a Gala visitor in 2000 and 2010.
The locomotive, a GWR Collett 2251 class 0-6-0, was built in 1946 at Swindon and intended for use on the lightly laid lines in Wales.
3205 left the SVR for the West Somerset Railway in 1987, before returning to the South Devon Railway in 1998.
3205 made a return visit in May 2000 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the opening of the SVR in 1970, and made another welcome return visit to the SVR as a guest at the Autumn 2010 Steam Gala, having completed a major overhaul in May that year.
