<div>The '''Class 40 Preservation Society''' (CFPS) is a registered charity (No 326323) formed in 1979. Its principal activities are "''To preserve and restore to full working order and operate at galas around the UK, 3 x heritage English Electric Class 40 diesel electric locomotives''"<ref>Charity Commission</ref>.<br />
<br />
It is based at the East Lancashire Railway in Bury and operates Class 40 diesel electric locomotives [[BR Class 40 40106 Atlantic Conveyor|40106]], which operates on the Severn Valley Railway, 40135 and main line certified 40145. <br />
<br />
In 2018 the SVR signed a contract with the CFPS to hire one of their Class 40s, initially for a 12 month period. 40106 Atlantic Conveyor arrived on the SVR on 2 August as a temporary replacement for the nominated locomotive 40135. Being fitted with vacuum brakes and steam heating equipment, it is capable of working passenger services during the winter period.<ref>SVR News 203 p. 48.</ref> <br />
<br />
With occasional returns to Bury for heavy maintenance, the locomotive remained on the Railway thereafter. The SVR include it as a ‘home fleet’ locomotive and the CFPS describe it as currently on a long term hire. While on the SVR, 40106 is being maintained by SVR-based CFPS members with a knowledge of the Class.<br />

The 2023 season ended with the SVR's first '''Winter Steam Gala''' which was held on 6-7 January 2024. [[Steam Locomotives visiting the SVR for galas#2023|Visiting S160 class locomotive 2253 Omaha]] was rostered to appear but was unable to take part due to mechanical issues which could not be fixed in time. Its place was taken by [[75069]]. <br />
<br />
The event saw a return to passenger service after a lengthy overhaul for [[42968|Stanier Mogul 42968]] (running as LMS 2968) and also saw the retirement of [[43106|'Flying Pig' 43106]] at the end of its ticket. [[7812|7812 Erlestoke Manor]] [[34027]] (as 21C127) and [[7714]] were also used. The gala attracted more than 2,500 paying passengers, with revenue twice as much as had been expected<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/bljan24 Branch Lines January 2024]</ref>.<br />
