==52255 in preservation==
52255 arrived on the SVR from Doncaster in April 1980, having been purchased by an individual. External restoration to 1935 livery was undertaken in the mid-1980s with the assistance of the LNER (SVR) Coach Fund, although the interior still consisted of BR Mark 1 seating.
The restoration in full LNER prewar livery was completed in September 2016 in time for the Tornado/Flying Scotsman visit, with much effort by apprentices, volunteer and full time C&W staff expended to meet that deadline.
