 However , 70000 had been purchased privately from British Railways by the Britannia Locomotive Group , therefore ensuring that the doyen of the class was to survive into the preservation era . Subsequently utilised on mainline railtours , the locomotive was out of use in the late 1990s , requiring work to bring it back to steam ; it was eventually sold to Pete Waterman and stored at Crewe . After a spell in storage on the Bressingham Steam Museum in Diss , Norfolk , 70013 was moved to the Great Central Railway ( preserved ) , following an ownership dispute between Bressingham and the National Railway Museum . The locomotive returned to steam in May 2008 on the Great Central Railway after the readers of Steam Railway magazine contributed towards its overhaul . In July 2008 it appeared in WCRC 's Open Weekend at Steamtown , Carnforth . August saw the locomotive return to the main line . Its first turn was the 1T57 ' Fifteen Guinea Special ' re @-@ run from Manchester to Carlisle , 40 years after it performed the same duty in 1968 . As a result , both preserved members of the class have operated on the mainline in preservation .
