In August 1968, Ron Ainsworth purchased 45212 directly from British Railways service for use on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, so never had to be restored from scrapyard condition, and is now owned by the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. Between 2000 and 2011, it was overhauled and operated at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, [1] but was not able to run trains into Whitby or Battersby as it was not mainline certified.
In 2012 an agreement was reached with Ian Riley for a 10 year period where the locomotive would be overhauled to mainline standards, while spending 3 months of the year at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. Following the 2016 completion of an overhaul at Riley's workshop in Bury, the engine is now mainline certified, and is operated by them on the main line, alongside Black 5s 44871 and 45407. [2]
