Broken piston rod
7802 Bradley Manor was withdrawn from service again at the end of the 2010 season, having accumulated over 110,000 miles in preservation, including [[The Severn Valley Railway on the main line | working on the main line]]. Another overhaul was undertaken, with the chassis being overhauled at Tyseley Loco Works and the boiler overhauled in the [[Bridgnorth Loco Works | SVR Bridgnorth Boilershop]]. This overhaul was completed in November 2015, the return to service coinciding with the 'Manor 50' weekend celebrating the end of steam on the Cambrian network.
In 2019 an agreement was reached to send 7802 to the West Somerset Railway between May and October with [[GWR 6960 Raveningham Hall]] coming to the SVR for a similar period.<ref>NBI 21 May 2019</ref> On 7 July she suffered a broken piston rod whilst working on the West Somerset Railway, with significant consequential damage.
