The loco was outshopped in BR lined black on 16th February 2005, and is seen here just after it was loaded onto the transporter for its journey to the Severn Valley Railway, in the evening of Saturday 5th March 2005. It left Sheffield Park the following morning for its journey to Shropshire, where it will star in the SVR's March 12-13 Branch Line Gala.
