Preservation
40362 bears a plaque stating that it was purchased in 1970 and subsequently restored by the 6000 Locomotive Association. This now defunct group[3] were based for some years at the Bulmers Steam Centre at Hereford until its closure in 1990.
The brake van arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway after 1998.[4] It was photographed outside Kidderminster Railway Museum in August 2010 although it has been repainted since that date. It remains on display as a cosmetically restored exhibit outside Kidderminster Railway Museum.
