Yes
It was withdrawn from service in July 1965 and was at the scrapyard in Barry until May 1985, it then took another 33 years to restore it to steam running, being relaunched on 2nd March 2019.

My favourite is No 2. If you could get rid of the "S" in the background on the left hand side and the modern lamp standard on the right, it would be a portrait of her that could only be called excellent.
 
Agree, time for the spot healing brush
 
Thanks Chris, yes it was a bit unfortunate that there was a Home Bargins lorry in the background.
 
Lovely machine, well worth the restoration effort (y)
