686 was purchased by the [[Warwickshire Industrial Loco Preservation Group | Warwickshire Industrial Loco Preservation Group]] in 1969, arriving on the Severn Valley Railway in July of that year.
Since arrival, 686 has spent some time serving as ‘Thomas’ both on the SVR and elsewhere, including overseas. She has also appeared in film and TV productions including [[The Incredible Dr. Baldick]]. After being withdrawn from service in September 2008, 686 has been cosmetically restored in ICI red livery, and is currently on display in [[The Engine House | The Engine House]] while awaiting overhaul. <gallery>File:HE_686_at_Hampton_Loade_1972.jpg | 686 cosmetically modified for filming in 1972 (David Cooke)</gallery>
