==2857 in preservation==
2857 was purchased from [[Barry Scrapyard | Woodham Bros scrap yard scrapyard]] in 1974 by [[The 2857 Society|The 2857 Society]], and moved by rail from Barry to the Severn Valley Railway in convoy with Collett Mogul 7325, arriving on 20th August 1975.
The locomotive was first steamed in preservation on 9th September 1979, minus cladding, and was steamed intermittently through 1980, without entering regularly in service. It finally entered service in August 1985, and worked until withdrawn for overhaul in December 1994 (1992 was spent on loan to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway).
