A number of Great Western Society members formed the Heavy Freight Group which raised the funds to purchase 3822 and to undertake the restoration work. 3822 first ran again under its own steam in 1985.
Once restored 3822 was used mainly at Didcot, although it did make several trips to other railways including the Nene Valley, West Somerset and East Lancashire. During 3822’s stay on the Nene Valley it was also used for a Queen video in 1989, when you may have seen it burst through a brick wall, while towing Freddie Mercury and Queen. The title of the song being Breakthrough.
In 1992 the locomotive took the record for the longest passenger train hauled in preservation when it pulled 19 coaches on the West Somerset Railway. It bettered this the following year when it headed a 23 coach train on the East Lancs Railway.
3822 was taken out of service in 1995 for its ten yearly boiler examination and overhaul and returned to traffic in 2002.
It the ran until 2010 when it was taken out of service and placed on static display at Didcot Railway Centre.
