5764 was withdrawn from service in 1982 awaiting a heavy overhaul. The locomotive was steamed again in early 1989; the first test movement in steam being an unusual sight because the tanks had not been fitted! By June of that year a full return to service had been achieved in time for an appearance in the summer steam gala.<ref>SVR News 92-93</ref> During the course of the 10 year ‘ticket’ that followed, 5764 spent 1993 on hire to the South Devon Railway. 1998 saw another television appearance in the TV movie [[Cider With Rosie]]; service ended later that year.
Following a boiler exchange made possible by the 1978 acquisition of a ‘spare’,<ref>SVR News 133</ref> 5764 entered a third period of service in summer 2001.<ref>SVR News 136</ref> Another 10 year ‘ticket’ saw 5764 withdrawn from service in January 2011.
