==2047 in preservation==
Following withdrawal, RPC offered the locomotive to the Warwickshire Railway Society. A separate group, the [[Warwickshire Industrial Loco Preservation Group | Warwickshire Industrial Loco Preservation Group]] was formed and the necessary funds raised by a share issue (£150 for the locomotive and £150 for transport and spares). After an inspection was carried out in July 1967, 2047 was purchased and arrived on the Severn Valley Railway on [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 1965-1969#1967 |22 October 1967]].<ref>[[Bibliography#Books | Shaw (1998)]] p. 51.</ref>
