In the Kidderminster carriage shed. It was very gloomy in there and the ISO was at 1600. This 2-6-0 tender engine was designed by Churchward with later Collett improvements and built at Swindon in 1932. It was withdrawn in 1964 and went to Barry scrapyard from where it was saved in 1975. It was returned to steam on the Severn Valley Railway in 1992. A leaking boiler forced retirement in 2000 and it has only been displayed in a static condition, including some time at Swindon, in the years since. It is awaiting restoration. It was last seen on display at Kidderminster Station during the 2022 autumn steam gala.
