50008 has been purchased privately for preservation from Sea Containers Co, who owned the loco with intention of returning the loco to the mainline to haul VSOE Pullman trains but the overhaul was not completed and 'Thunderer' has spent the most part of the last eight years stored in Crewe South Yard. The new owner, who owns several steam engines, intends to have the outstanding work on the loco completed at the LNWR depot in Crewe.
