    In service


    The lead locomotive of its class, after a brief period of running-in service, between April and October 1924, the locomotive was exhibited at the British Empire Exhibition, which was held at Wembley Park, Wembley, north-west London. Its first shed allocation was Old Oak Common. Its August 1950 shed allocation was Bath Road, Bristol. Its last shed allocation was Cardiff Canton in March 1959.


    Preservation



    Withdrawn in May 1960, it was made part of the National Collection. Refurbished for display purposes at Swindon Works, on 2 June 1961 she was formally handed over by Dr Richard Beeching at Paddington Station to the director of the Science Museum. Pickfords hauled the engine from Park Royal Goods Depot to the museum in Kensington, using Scammell Constructor units on Sunday 4 June 1961. She was then placed on display in the new land transport gallery.
    After the Science Museum decided to refurbish the gallery into the Making the Modern World, it was decided to transfer the locomotive to STEAM at Swindon. After a period on display at the National Railway Museum, York, she moved to Swindon on the museum's opening.
