Notes Tender arrived at Woodham Bros, Barry attached to GWR Modified Hall number 7927. 2825 was the last tender this locomotive was coupled to in BR service and this has been confirmed by stamped numbers found on parts of the tender. The tank has been replaced since preservation and is of all welded construction. The owning group have renumbered the tender 4019 as a small batch of Collett 4000 gallon tenders were built to diagram A186 with welded tanks and numbered between 4010-4019. It is being restored to run with GWR Modified Hall no 6989, restoration of the locomotive is now complete but the tender still requires work to be done on it. It had been hoped to complete work by the end of 2020 but the covid pandemic stopped this. It is not known whether the tender has been completed or not. At present 6989 is running at present with GWR Collett 4000 gallon tender no. 2771.
