The steam railway locomotive is one of the iconic machines of the Industrial period. This is refl ected in the many examples that have been preserved in museums as static exhibits, and in the replicas that have been constructed of vanished prototypes, such as the Planet and the Tornado. In addition, many historically signifi cant locomotives are now operated on heritage railways, or on heritage services, in ways that potentially affect their historic integrity. The following paper assesses the ways in which operational steam locomotives can be conserved in ways that mitigate this loss of integrity
