This tender was originally part of the 'Barry 10' collection owned by South Glamorgan Council later passing to the Vale of Glamorgan Council . Subsequently owned by the Great Western Society from circa early 2016 it passed to the Churchward County Trust circa January 2022 for use with new build GWR County 4-4-0 no 3840.
