6634 left Barry in June 1981, the 131st locomotive to do so, initially to the East Somerset Railway.<ref>[http://www.railuk.info/steam/barry_search.php Railuk.info Barry Scrapyard Search Results]</ref><ref>[https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2018/10/gwr-56xx-class-steam-locomotives-class-information.html Duggan, J., 'GWR 56XX Class steam locomotives – Class Information', Rail Advent, 30 October 2018] (Retrieved 16 August 2020)</ref> It is owned by [[The Waterman Railway Heritage Trust]].
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.
