}}[[File:GWR 6634 20171108.jpg|thumb|300px|right|6634 awaiting collection in November 2017]] 6634 is a Collett 5600 Class 0-6-2T locomotive and is owned by [[The Waterman Railway Heritage Trust]]. The locomotive was resident on the SVR between 2009 and 2017 but was never steamed. On 19 August 2009 the ‘rolling chassis’ arrived on the SVR for restoration from [[Barry Scrapyard | ex-Barry]] condition to be completed. SVR News announced that the SVR had reached an agreement with the owners to complete the overhaul of the ‘bottom end’ while Crewe completed the repair of the boiler. The SVR would then bring the locomotive into use with it being run on the SVR for ‘a period deemed fair by both parties’. The deal appeared favourable to the SVR as it would not involve the boiler shop or require space in the works on the jacks. Work was subsequently carried out by the SVR for a period after its arrival.
In Summer 2012 the boiler tubeplate was stolen from Crewe Heritage Centre with serious disruption to progress.<ref>SVRLive Steam Loco Situation - Summer 2012 [http://www.svrlive.com/Pages/SteamLocoNews.aspx]</ref> In 2014 the SVR reported that there was no progress or commitment on the boiler and the SVR was seeking legal advice concerning the continued lack of progress in order to resolve this long running problem.<ref>SVRLive News updated 19 February 2014 [http://www.svrlive.com/Pages/News0214.aspx]</ref><ref>SVRLive News updated 4 July 2014 [http://www.svrlive.com/Pages/news0814.aspx]</ref>
