Noted that rumours say the loco isn't going to be leaving any time soon.
1450 spent her early life in preservation at the Dart Valley Railway (now the South Devon Railway). She was eventually purchased from there by her present owner, Mike Little.<ref>[http://www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/gone-not-forgotten/1450 SDR web site], retrieved 25-01-2015.</ref>
1450 arrived at the SVR 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. 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. No announcement has yet been made on when 1450 will leave, and it has been reported that Mike Little is happy with the current arrangements (Feb. 2015).
