45048 in preservation
It was purchased for preservation in 1981, initially at Steamport (Southport) before moving to the Gloucester Warwickshire Steam Railway in 1983. Following a lengthy restoration it carried HRH The Princess Royal to open the GWSR’s Cheltenham Racecourse Station. It was withdrawn from service suffering from water ingress via a leaky roof, and offered for sale in 2012.
45048 at the SVR
It was acquired by David Postle and moved to the SVR by August 2013.[1] As of January 2018[update] it is stored at Bewdley awaiting restoration at the owner’s expense.[2]
