In 1940 it was requisitioned by the War Department as their No.18, shipped to France but taken over by the Germans on the Fall of France. After D-Day 1944, it was recaptured by the Allies and then used by the French, working at a General Reserve Munitions Depot until 1957 when it was sold to the Chemin de Fer de Mamers a St Calais as their No.7 until 1972 when it fell into disuse. In 1973 it was sold to a loco dealers who renovated it but it found no buyer until bought for preservation in the UK in 1988.
