==45110 in preservation==
45110 arrived on the [[Severn Valley Railway|SVR ]] on 20 August 1970 in working order and entered service the same year. The first period of service ended 10 years later in 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 [[GWR 4930 Hagley Hall |4930 Hagley Hall]] which had moved to Bridgnorth for overhaul.
As at February 2015 the locomotive remains on display in [[The Engine House]] while awaiting its next overhaul. It is owned by SVR(H).
