Built by Sentinel in 1953, this locomotive began its life at the Totternhoe Quarries in Dunstable, working for Rugby Portland Cement Co. Ltd as their No. 1.
In 1964, it was reassigned to the company’s New Bilton Works in Rugby. A brief stint followed in early 1966 when it was loaned to the Southam Works in Warwickshire, though it returned to New Bilton within a couple of months.
By 1967, the locomotive changed hands, sold to Thomas Hill Ltd in Killamarsh, Yorkshire. The following year, it was resold to R.Y. Pickering & Co. Ltd, a wagon manufacturer in Wishaw, Lanarkshire. Renumbered as No. 4, it took on the task of shunting a variety of wagons, including massive 100-ton bogie oil tankers. The company later became Norbrit-Pickering Ltd.
In July 1979, the locomotive found a new home at the Tanfield Railway, arriving alongside RW Hawthorn Works No. 2009.
In 2024 – the locomotive was privately purchased by a member of the North Tyneside Steam Railway and will be seeing much needed overhaul in the near future.
