overhaul update
4930 was withdrawn from service in October 1986 following failure of several boiler stays. It has not steamed since, spending the intervening years in store and on static display at the Designer Shopping Complex (sited on the former GWR Swindon Works), and latterly in [[The Engine House]] at Highley. It was moved from there to Bridgnorth on Sunday 6th October 2013 for the long-awaited overhaul to begin.
4930 is still owned by SVR(H), but has its own support group, the [[Friends of 4930 Hagley Hall | Friends of Hagley Hall]]. 4930’s sister locomotive [[GWR 4936 Kinlet Hall|4936 Kinlet Hall]] has visited the SVR on several occasions.
