→50044 Exeter in preservation: tidy up text
Exeter was repainted in un-prototypical two tone green and rededicated by the Crew of HMS Exeter at Kidderminster in 2007. '44 has subsequently been repainted in BR Blue.
In 2012 a problem with oil temperature on a mainline railtour damaged 50044's diesel set. A replacement English Electric 16CSVT has been secured from Portugal (ex CP 1807) which was fitted with adjustments made to bring it in line with UK specifications. Start up was anticipated in early 2017.<ref>[http://www.fiftyfund.org.uk/index.php/our-locomotives/50044-exeter Fifty Fund 50044 page]</ref> On 10 September 2018 50044 returned to passenger duty ran under its own power having received the overhauled engine and overhauled main, ETH and auxiliary generators.<ref>Severn Valley Diesels Official Facebook Group.</ref>
