No. 6880 is now running at different preserved railways around the country with the 3500 gallon Churchward tender from 7822 Foxcote Manor. We are building our own 3500 gallon Collett tender, a type that ran with many Granges and that suited the overall appearance of the locomotive’s dimensions fully.

In October 2026 we launched our fundraising initiative for the new tender called Neverwazzaagrange. This odd title refers to the 57 Grange Class locomotives planned by the GWR to be built after WW2 but never started. So they never were.
