Story
Restored at Peak Rail in 2009, after nearly 30 years of work, she was repainted into an LMS maroon livery (only ever worn authentically by express-passenger classes of the company). She ran at the railway for about a year and was then put on loan to other lines, but became a semi-permanent resident of the Great Central in early 2011. Now sporting the same livery with BR numbering, her boiler ticket expires in 2019
