In December 2012 it was reported that Ian Riley had added LMS Jinty 47298 to his fleet and will restore it to main line condition. Currently at Llangollen the 3F was previously at Steamport Southport and is seen here at dusk returning stock to the museum following an exhibition at Chapel St station in 1979. At the rear is Black 5 44806, then a static exhibit but also since returned to steam at Llangollen. The excursion platform area had already been turned into a car park by this time. See image 25804 for a similar view in 2009.
