==New Build β 3840 ''County of Montgomery''== No members of the class were preserved. However, the [[Didcot Railway Centre|Great Western Society]] took the decision to create the next locomotive in the sequence, 3840 ''County of Montgomery''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.churchwardcounty.org.uk/|title=Churchward County Trust|website=Churchward County Trust|language=en-GB|access-date=2018-08-22}}</ref> The project has been handed over to the Churchward County Trust and 3840 will be based at the [[Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway]] following its construction at Tyseley Locomotive Works in Birmingham. The locomotive is being built with both new parts, such as the driving wheels which have been cast using the pattern created for [[GWR 2900 Class 2999 Lady of Legend|Saint Class 2999 ''Lady of Legend'']], and recycled standard parts recovered from former Barry scrapyard locomotives including the Standard No. 4 Boiler, the pony truck wheel set, two pony truck axle boxes, four horn guides and two eccentric sheaves from [[GWR 5205 Class|5205 Class]] 2-8-0T 5227, and four driving wheel axle boxes from [[GWR 2800 Class|2800 Class]] 2-8-0 2861.
