Taw Valley Limited added
By 2000, Taw Valley was again working on the main line, notably appearing around the country that year in maroon livery as ‘Hogwarts Express’ to publicise the Harry Potter books which were then being published.
The locomotive arrived back on the SVR on 11 April 2001, having been put up for sale by Bert Hitchen and acquired by long-standing SVR member Phil Swallowvia [[Taw Valley Limited]]. The boiler was re-stayed within this ticket during the summer of 1982<ref>SVR News 141</ref>.
Main line running continued until May 2005. This included a number of rail tours in which the locomotive ran as sister locomotive 34045 Ottery St Mary. The locomotive also appeared in the Autumn Steam Gala of 2005 as 34036 Westward Ho, the last gala appearance before going out of ticket.<ref>SVR News 152</ref>.
