Added livery following current overhaul
The loco moved for the first time under her own steam in preservation in 1990, and officially entered SVR service in April 1991 in LMS livery and numbered 2968. Unfortunately, she had to be withdrawn from traffic in December 1993 due to a loose tyre. Following tyre replacement she re-entered service in December 1994. In 1996 she was mainline-certified, and over the next two years hauled a number of [[The Severn Valley Railway on the main line | main-line railtours]], including the Settle-Carlisle line from Crewe to Carlisle. She also took part in the 1998 "Steam On The Met" event.
In 1998 she was withdrawn for a full overhaul, which was completed in 2003, and she re-entered service in BR livery. She remained in service until the expiry of her boiler certificate in 2013; her current overhaul began in early 2014. The Stanier Mogul Fund intends for her to re-enter service carrying her original number, 13268.
