FOREMARKE HALL 7903 at was built in 1949 at Swindon Works. First shed allocation was Old Oak Common, and it was named after the Derbyshire stately home. The locomotive was withdrawn from service in 1964 and sold to Woodhams' Scrapyard. Nearly twenty years later, in 1981, it was moved to the Swindon and Cricklade Railway where restoration work began. Restoration was completed 22 years later in September 2003, and the locomotive was used briefly on the S&CR before moving to the nearby Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway in May 2004.
