It was withdrawn from service in January 1968 and sold to Woodham Brother as scrap and arrived in the yard at Barry in September 1968. It left Barry in September 1979 after being there for eleven years.

It was bought from Woodham Brothers for £10,000 by 92212 Holdings Ltd, and moved to the Great Central Railway at Loughborough in September 1979. Prior to this a group of prospective owners had contacted the Severn Valley Railway (SVR) in 1976 with a view to basing the locomotive on the SVR.

The restoration of 92212 was completed at Loughborough in September 1996.

It was hired by the SVR for the winter of 2001 and again for the summer of 2011.

92212 was purchased by Jeremy Hosking in 2006 whilst the locomotive was being overhauled on the Mid Hants Railway.

It returned to service on the Mid Hants Railway in September 2011 but was then hired by the Bluebell railway to provide cover whilst that railway was short of operating locomotives.

In 2013 92212 returned to the Mid Hants Railway.

The boiler certificate will expire in June 2019 after which the boiler will be overhauled at Crewe with the aim in having the locomotive back in steam quickly.

In December 2018 it was announced that the locomotive would be fitted with the boiler from 92245.

In February 2019 the locomotive passed its 14 month boiler inspection which allowed it to operate until the end of December 2019.

In April following the donation by Jeremy Hosking to help saved the Llangollen Railway from going into administration it was revealed that it was planned that the locomotive would go to the Llangollen Railway for its overhaul. The locomotive moved to Llangollen in April 2020.

After having a review of its contract engineering business the Llangollen Railway announced in July 2020 that they were closing the business. By the time the announcement about the closure was made public 92212 had already left Llangollen.

In October 2020 it was revealed that the overhaul was being undertaken at Butterley by the Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust. The locomotive will be fitted with the boiler from 92245 which is being overhauled in the boiler shop at Crewe. 92245 will remain in scrapyard condition at Barry Tourist Railway.
