Preservation

45212 was purchased directly from British Railways service for preservation so never had to be restored from scrapyard condition unlike other preserved locomotives which ended up being sent to Barry Island. The majority of its class including 45212 were purchased directly from BR service for preservation with only six being purchased from Barry Island and then required restoration to run again. Before being overhauled at Ian Riley's workshop in Bury it spent most of its previous boiler ticket operating at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, but was not able to run trains into Whitby or Battersby as it was not mainline certified.

Following an overhaul at Riley and Son in Bury the engine is now mainline certified. The engine is based at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway when not in use on the mainline hauling railtours or working West Coast Railways's "Jacobite" trains from Fort William to Mallaig.

gollark: We don't use nuclear fission unironically.

gollark: Yes, mass-energy conversion good.

gollark: Idea: instead of "nuclear reactors", directly convert mass into energy.

gollark: You mean reprocessing?

gollark: Instead of not being synchronised, your nodes are synchronised.
