5164 transfer agreed June 2021
'''The 5164 Preservation Group''' are the owners of [[GWR Large Prairie 5164]] which was acquired from [[Barry Scrapyard]] in the early 1970s for use on the SVR.
In July 2020 [[The Erlestoke Manor Fund]] announced it was in discussion with The 5164 Preservation Group and the SVR regarding the proposed transfer of GWR Large Prairie 5164 to the EMF. The announcement noted that "''The 5164 Preservation Group is an unincorporated organisation with a small, diminishing group of shareholders, who have agreed by a large referendum majority to offer the locomotive to the EMF for a nominal sum. If the transfer proceeds, this would secure the locomotive’s future within an incorporated, charitable organisation strongly affiliated to the SVR.''"<ref>[https://www.erlestokemanorfund.co.uk/announcement-gwr-5164/ EMF announcement] (retrieved 29 July 2020)</ref> In June 2021 all parties agreed the the formal transfer agreement<ref>SVR News 215, Autumn 2021, p. 37</ref>.
