Only one of the six strong class has survived into preservation, following the efforts of the late Viscount Garnock who bought No.61994 "The Great Marquess" from British Railways (BR), and had the engine overhauled to working order. Based at Leeds No.3442 undertook railtour work until forced into retirement by the ban imposed on steam working by BR in 1968. From 1972 No.3442 was stored on the Severn Valley Railway (SVR) until 1980 when it was overhauled. In the mid 2000s No.3442 was bought by John Cameron and the locomotive left the SVR for overhaul at Crewe.
