This was the first Stanier 2-6-4T engine to be built.
It was built at Derby, at a cost of £6,444, in 1934 for use on the London, Tilbury & Southend (LTS) section between Fenchurch Street and Shoeburyness. It was withdrawn from service in June 1962 and became part of the National Collection having spent its entire working life based at Shoeburyness.
Before being deployed on the LTS the locomotive was rested whilst based at Watford. On at least one trip the designer was on the footplate.
It has steamed in preservation at Bressingham between the early 1970s and early 1980s.
In 2015 it was moved, on loan, from its long term home at the National Railway Museum at York to Barrow Hill Roundhouse but in 2016 it returned to York where it is currently on static display.
In December 2023 it was reported that the locomotive had been moved to Bury where it would remain on loan for three years.
