Preservation
One of the BR built engines, No. 69023, survives and is owned by the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group. It has worked on several preserved railways but is now undergoing a major overhaul at Hopetown Works, Darlington, due to be completed in 2008. The locomotive can be viewed at Hopetown Works, the original Stockton and Darlington Railway carriage works, on the second Saturday of every month.
It has been named Joem, though it never carried this name in service.
