The BR Standard 2MT 2-6-0 was essentially a development of the LMS 2-6-0 ‘Mickey Mouse’, of which the SVR’s [[LMS Ivatt Class 2 46443 | 46443]] is an example. 78019 was built at BR’s Darlington Works and entered service in 1954 at Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria. The locomotive was eventually with drawn from service in November 1966. |
|||
The locomotive was built at English Electric's Vulcan Foundry and entered service in the Nottingham Division (D16) on 21 July 1967 under its original number D8189. It was renumbered 20189 under [[TOPS codes|TOPS]] on 1 January 1973. It was subsequently reallocated to Toton in October 1987 and was withdrawn from service on 1 September 1990.<ref name=BRDB>[https://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&type=D&id=8189&loco=8189 BRDatabase]</ref> |

SVR member Mr Charles Newton had already bought [[LMS Ivatt Class 2 46521 | 46521]] before purchasing 78019 as a longer term restoration project. 78019 arrived by road at Bridgnorth from [[Barry Scrapyard]] on Saturday 10 March 1973.<ref>SVR News 27 p. 14.</ref><ref group="note">Stock Books Editions 5-8 all give the arrival date as 12 March. The contemporary SVR News article specifically refers to Saturday 10th (the 10th was a Saturday) therefore the stock book dates are assumed to be in error</ref> |
|||
The locomotive, which is main line registered, is owned by '''Class 20189 Limited'''. Class 20189 Limited was incorporated in 2006 as Company number 05742768; {{As of |2024 | lc="y"}} Michael Owen is the sole Director.<ref>Companies House</ref> The company also owns main line registered Class 20 locomotives 20007 and 20142 which have previously [[Diesel Locomotives visiting the SVR for galas|visited the SVR for Diesel galas]]. |
|||
Classmate [[20048]], also owned by Class 20189 Limited but not main line registered, had arrived on hire to the SVR in June 2022 to help working services during the period of coal supply issues. 20189 and 20142 also arrived on hire at the SVR on 19 July. At the time the extremely hot weather and resultant fire risk had led to all steam services being withdrawn. Three of the SVR's resident diesels had developed faults in the extreme heat (50035, D182 and D9551) while two of the SVR's other Class 50s were required on the main line. |
|||
Some restoration work took place during the following years, but was still not complete when in spring 1998 the Loughborough Standard Locomotive Group Ltd based at the Great Central Railway offered to complete the restoration of the locomotive on agreement that it then remained at the GCR for an undisclosed period of time. The deal, which resulted in joint equal ownership of the locomotive, was agreed and the move completed. |
|||
20142 and 20189 both worked service AS1 in multiple on 20 July. 20189 then continued to work services solo. |
|||
78019 returned to the SVR as a gala visitor in spring 2010. |
