The Toddington Standard Locomotive Ltd. owners of BR Standard 4MT 2-6-0 No. 76077, have launched an appeal to raise £150,000, the estimated cost of overhauling the locomotive’s boiler, which is currently at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway’s Toddington depot. The boiler of No. 76077 is in good general condition, but some important work will need to be carried out. It is hoped that No. 76077 could be in steam by December of 2026. Details for the appeal can be found on the Toddington Standard Locomotive Ltd. website and social media pages.

A brand new BR2A Type tender is to be built from scratch for BR Standard 4MT 2-6-0 No. 76077 following the successful purchase of a set of spare tender wheels from the Bluebell Railway to help with the restoration of No. 76077. Contruction of the tender is not expected to start until No. 76077 is back in steam as by then No. 76077 will be using a hired in tender which could be a BR1B type until its own is ready.
