Ex BR Standard 4 2-6-0 76079 stands at the partially completed new Glyndyfrdwy Station in November 1992 during a Thomas event. This was at the time the limit of operations from Llangollen, although the station itself did not open until the following year. 76079, along with Black 5 44806, later moved to the North Yorks Moors Railway from Llangollen. see image 49644. The Standard 4 completed a 10 year overhaul in 2014, and, as of April 2020, the Black 5 is about to have a start made on its own 10 year overhaul; after being sold earlier this year, by the NYMR, to the owner of USAC S160 No 2253 Omaha.
