It was used to haul passenger, and freight trains when it worked on the Southern Region of British Railways.
On June 19, 1966, it was retired and sent to Woodham Brothers for scrapping. It languished at Barry Docks until 1979 when purchased by the 73082 Camelot Locomotive Society, and moved to the Bluebell Railway for restoration alongside Battle of Britain Pacific 34059 Sir Archibald Sinclair.
Today the locomotive is restored, and operational on the Bluebell Railway.
