5764 was repainted into GWR livery in 1972. During the next few years 5764 made appearances in the BBC television series [[Carrie's War]] in November 1973 and [[The Signalman]] in 1976. The early success of 5764 led the SVRA Kidderminster Branch to purchase a second pannier, [[GWR Pannier 7714 | 7714]], in 1973.
In early 1977 a slipped tyre led to 5764 being withdrawn from service.<Ref>SVR News 44</ref> In summer 1978, SVR News announced that another pannier, [[GWR Pannier 3612 | 3612]], had been acquired from [[Barry Scrapyard | Barry]] to provide new wheels for 5764 as well as a spare boiler for 5764 and 7714.<ref>SVR News 48</ref> After re-profiling on the [[Bridgnorth Loco Works# Machine Shop | Noble and Lund wheel lathe]], the new wheels were installed and the locomotive re-painted in time for a return to service in mid-1979.
