==52255 in preservation==

52255 was purchased by the SVR Rolling Stock Trust (now [[Severn Valley Railway Charitable Trust Ltd | The SVR Charitable Trust]]) in June 2011. In August of that year the [[:Category:SVR fundraising lotteries|SVRA held a raffle]] to help pay off the temporary funding that secured the deal and raise money towards an upgrade of the interior of 52255.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150521193831/http://www.svr-association.org.uk/raff082011.html SVRA Website via Internet Archive Wayback Machine]</ref> It was withdrawn from use at the end of 2014 for major body overhaul, and for the interior to undergo a high class upgrade to LNER appearance, similar to that previously completed on [[LNER 43600 Open Third | 43600]]. It entered the paintshop in early 2016, and by 3 September the work was almost complete with side framework repaired, roof planks secured firmly to the hoops and then re-canvassed and painted. Windows were re-bedded and the bodywork externally re varnished. The interior had been dismantled and many components refurbished or replaced before reassembly with new saloon paneling and fawn Rexine finish trimmed in maroon. New brown lino, rexined seat ends made to the new "LNER" profile, pictures, mirrors, coathooks, wall lamps and luggage racks were added. The volunteer upholsterer re-covered the seats in new LNER red & black patterned moquette, and these were fitted, as were the new LNER pattern tables. Gangways were refurbished, and its refurbished bogies fitted. The previously standard tungsten light bulbs were replaced with almost indistinguishable LED ones which use much less power whilst giving a superior level of illumination.
