It was bought from Woodham Brothers scrapyard in 1986 and taken to Bodmin. After extensive restoration, which included manufacture of many replacement parts, 5552 entered service on the Bodwin Wenford Railway in 2003 and has been a regular performer since.
In late 2012 it was withdrawn for its ten year overhaul.
In early December 2018 the Bodmin & Wenford Railway reported that the wheels had been placed back in the frames and tubes were being fitted into the boiler.
In November 2020 it was reported that it was hoped to have the locomotive in service late in 2021.
