46521 had a working life with BR of 13 years, based around the Cambrian area including Oswestry, Brecon and Machynlleth. The locomotive was withdrawn by BR in November 1966 and moved to [[Barry Scrapyard]] in 1967.
In 1969 46521 was selected for preservation by SVR member Charles Newton. The locomotive arrived at the SVR on 20 March 1971 and entered service in July 1974, becoming the SVR’s first ex-Barry restoration to be completed. The locomotive initially carried the same green livery in which it finished BR service, although in 1975 both 46421 46521 and 46443 were painted into red livery and given modified superstructures for filming of [[The Seven-Per-Cent Solution]]. 46521 was eventually withdrawn from service in 1977 for major boiler repairs.
Following completion of the overhaul, a second period of service commenced, this time ending on 24th August, 1984.
