This engine went straight to the War dept from new in Sept 1918 and is one of the last batch of 10 such engines to be made for the war effort. It worked all it's life on general road haulage. In 1948 it was sold for scrap, but later rescued and was put back to work in 1956. This engine has been rallied since 1961.
