Restoration after shutting down of the North Western Railway[]

James was going to be scrapped by Woodham Brothers Ltd, and James was sent to the railway scrapyard in Glamorgan, Wales, but when a worker who was a huge fan of him and the TTTE series spotted him while walking to a blowtorch shed, he was very happy, and had him restored and sold to the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre. James ran trains usually loaded with American tourists, but he was purchased by Dennis and Isaiah, as part of the revival of the NWR.
