It is currently (March 2013) owned by and based on the Dartmouth Steam Railway.

7827 was withdrawn in October 1965 and acquired by Woodham's of Barry, Wales, in May 1966.

It was sold to Dart Valley Railway and left the scrapyard as the fifth departure from Barry in June 1970.

It carried the Great Western Livery, which it would never have carried while in mainline service, as it was built two years after the end of the Great Western Railway (GWR).

In 2011, Lydham Manor was reintroduced at the Churston Heritage Festival carrying British Rail all-black livery and bearing the temporary nameplates Torquay Manor and number plates of No.
