61994 is on the move to her final resting place at John Cameron’s Balbuthie Farm
After that time 3442 was mainly based at Thornton Depot near John Cameron's home in Fife. In summer 2006 John Cameron's other locomotive [[LNER 60009 Union of South Africa]] also left the SVR, SVR News reporting that he "''...wants his engines back where he has quick and easy access, as he is no longer inclined to travel so far, and he wants to enjoy them more readily.''"<ref>SVR News 155</ref>
In March 2010 the Great Marquess made its only return visit to the SVR, appearing in BR Black livery as 61994 for the [[Spring Gala|spring ‘Reunion’ Gala]]. It last ran in October 2015, and in 2017 was moved to the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway for static display. It was subsequently announced that it would be withdrawn from active service and from 2019 would be housed permanently in a new 'Farming and Railway Visiting Centre' at Balbuthie, St Monans with [[LNER 60009 Union of South Africa]].<ref>Steam Railway Magazine 27 January 2017</ref> Planning consent was refused and a revised application, excluding the railway aspect, was agreed in November 2019.<ref>[https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/local/fife/1020904/east-neuk-farm-visitor-centre-given-go-ahead-but-without-the-locomotives-previously-proposed/ 'East Neuk farm visitor centre given go-ahead but without the locomotives previously proposed', The courier.co.uk, 15 November 2019] (Retrieved 7 January 2020)</ref> It finally moved in April 2023.
