One, 13268/(4)2968, the penultimate member of the class to be withdrawn, has been preserved. This locomotive was acquired from
After withdrawal for overhaul in 1998, it re-entered service in 2003 in BR lined livery as 42968, which it carried for ten years. Following another overhaul, it re-entered service in late 2023, being repainted in LMS Lined Black as 13268 in April 2024.[2][3]
On two occasions, firstly between 1994[4] and 1998,[5] and again between 2010[6] and 2012,[7] it ran with the tender from Black 5 no. 45110, while its own Fowler-pattern one was undergoing repairs.
Models
Bachmann Branchline has produced a model of the Stanier Mogul including the preserved example.[8]
Initial releases from Bachmann Branchline include the LMS Black Lined version 31-690 in February 2017, BR Black early emblem and BR Black late emblem. Later liveries to follow.[9]
