Suspect typo: 1970+10 is not 1990
==45110 in preservation==
45110 arrived on the SVR on 20 August 1970 in working order and entered service the same year. The first period of service ended 10 years later in 1990 1980 after recording 21,185 miles in use. Following overhaul, a second period of service began in 1998. This lasted until late 2008, including a 6-month boiler ticket extension which enabled the locomotive to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the end of BR main line steam. Both 10 year 'tickets' included hauling [[The Severn Valley Railway on the main line | main line rail tours]].
Following expiry of the second 'ticket' in 2008, 45110 moved on loan to Barrow Hill Roundhouse for a period on static display there. In October 2013 the locomotive returned to the SVR and was moved into [[The Engine House]], taking the place of 4930 Hagley Hall which had moved to Bridgnorth for overhaul.
