Push Pull Limited
==1450 in preservation==
1450 spent her early life in preservation at the Dart Valley Railway (now the South Devon Railway). She was eventually purchased from there and re-located to the Dean Forest Railway by [[Pull Push Limited]], her present owner, of whom Mike Littleis a director.<ref>[http://www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/gone-not-forgotten/1450 SDR web site], retrieved 25-01-2015.</ref>
1450 arrived at the SVR from the DFR in March 2014, initially on hire for the year. Although not powerful enough to haul service trains, the locomotive is regularly used on Footplate Experience duties, as well as appearing at galas on the SVR and elsewhere, often paired with the owner's autocoaches [[GWR 178 Autotrailer Third | 178]] and [[GWR 238 Autotrailer Third | 238]] which are also resident on the SVR. However, 1450 did haul a service train in 2014, double heading with [[4566]] to provide the required power, due to a number of ongoing locomotive repairs leaving the SVR unexpectedly short on engines.
