GWR (Great Western Railway) No. 7760 is a 5700 Class 0-6-0PT Pannier Tank Engine built in 1930 by the North British Locomotive Company for the Great Western Railway.

It started its period of operation under British Rail (BR) ownership in 1948 based at Old Oak Common where it stayed until it was moved to Oxford in September 1949. It stayed here until it was withdrawn from service in December 1961.

No. 7760 along with a number of other pannier tanks was sold to London Transport (LT) where it was renumbered to L90. In 1971 it was sold to 7029 Clun Castle Ltd in full working order. It has been loaned to various heritage railways and was certified for mainline operation in 2000.

No. 7760 is currently out of service and is awaiting an overhaul.
