5764 was repainted into GWR livery in 1972. During the next few years 5764 made appearances in the BBC television series [[Carrie's War]] in November 1973 and [[The Signalman]] in 1976. The early success of 5764 led the SVRA Kidderminster Branch to purchase a second pannier, [[GWR Pannier 7714 | 7714]], in 1973.
