Notes Arrived at Woodham Bros, Barry attached to 30847 SR S15 class 4-6-0. Left Barry with 31806 SR U class 2-6-0 in 1976. When 31806 was restored (it was first steamed around early 1981) it was decided to restore Maunsell 4000 gallon tender no. 882 with it and 914 was set aside to be restored with 31625 Maunsell U class 2-6-0.Work started on the tender circa late 1993. The tank was cut off in early to mid 1994 and the restoration plan than abandoned. It is believed the remains of the tender were then subsequently cut up as the frames required extensive repairs.
