1970 appeal details
The Passenger Tank Fund owns [[BR Riddles 4MT 80079 | BR Standard 4MT No 80079]].
An appeal by the Passenger Tank Fund to acquire the locomotive was published in SVR News in Autumn 1970.<ref>SVR News 18</ref> A share issue to raise the £3,000 purchase price was successfully completed by Spring 1971.<ref>SVR News 19</ref>  Railway Herald magazine reported on 7 November 2011 that the Fund is one of three similar funds operating on the SVR. An initial group of 18 members formed The [[Ivatt Class 4 Group]] to purchase [[LMS Ivatt Class 4 43106]], a larger group formed The Passenger Tank Fund, before a still larger group formed [[The 75069 Fund]] to purchase that locomotive.  As with several groups on the SVR the Fund has a low profile with no website or social media presence.  A special meeting of The Passenger Tank Fund had been arranged for 30 October 2011 to discuss and vote on a proposed sale of the locomotive to Mr Jeremy Hosking.<ref>Railway Herald Magazine Issue 290, 7 November (2011), p. 16.</ref> No such sale took place.
