The Duke drove 7819 for part of the journey.The locomotive also made the first operational entry into platform 2 at Kidderminster when it was brought into use on 25 November of that year.<ref>SVR News 198</ref>
7819 featured in an episode of the BBC drama series [[The Inspector Alleyn Mysteries]] broadcast in 1993.
Following a loan to the Nene Valley Railway in 1994, 7819 was placed in storage awaiting major repairs on 7 January 1995. After a period in store in the open the locomotive was cosmetically restored and {{As of|2018|lc=y}} is on static display in the McArthurGlen shopping complex, Swindon.
The locomotive was owned by the Hinton Manor Fund of which [[SVR Wolverhampton Branch]] was the major shareholder. It is now owned by [[The Severn Valley Railway in preservation#Organisation | The SVR Charitable Trust]], having been formally transferred from the Hinton Manor Fund for a nominal sum in April 2004.<ref>SVR News 147 and [http://www.svr-wolverhampton.org.uk/7819/ SVR Wolverhampton Branch] (retrieved 6 January 2017)</ref>
