3802 in service
3802 was built in 1938 at the GWR’s Swindon Works.[1] The locomotive was withdrawn from Bristol Barrow Road depot in August 1965 and reached Barry Scrapyard in October.
3802 in preservation
3802 was purchased from Barry in September 1984. It is preserved at the Llangollen Railway.[2]
3802 at the SVR
In Summer 2010 the locomotive fleet was ‘one short’ for the summer peak service, resulting in the hire of 3802 from Llangollen, utilising 7822 'Foxcote Manor's tender to save transport costs.
