This locomotive was built by Andrew Barclay in 1942. It was one of five locomotives that worked at British Gypsum sites along the Settle-Carlisle railway. It became Bitish Gypsum W T T.
In 1970 four of the locomotives (Works Nos 1969, 2134, 2343, and 2361) were bought for Steamtown at Carnforth for £1,100.
The owner of this locomotive had it repainted from its faded green version of the W T T livery to blue. The owner then sold the locomotive to another private buyer who repainted it in a green coronation livery and attached Coronation nameplate from a Hunslet locomotive.
The locomotive has steamed in preservation at Steamtown at Carnforth in the early 1980s but now the depot is the home of West Coast Railways.
